At the third business session, Sally Yon was recognized as the Star State Farmer for South Carolina. Sally’s parents (Kevin and Lydia Yon), FFA Advisor Michael Crim, and Sally were on stage to receive the award. Sally will now compete for Nation Star Farmer in October at the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana. During the same session, Ben Derrick was recognized as the Low State Star Agriculture Placement student. Ben received this award because of his outstanding Supervised Agriculture Experience Program which took place at the family agriculture business Derrick Equipment in Ridge Spring. Under the supervision of his father Dean, both uncles Brian and Bobby, and grandmother Mrs. Louise Derrick, Ben has been exposed to and learned the foundation of the family business. He was on stage during the session with mother Amy, youngest brother Ethan, and FFA Advisor, Michael Crim At the conclusion of the session, retiring Principal Mr. Bill Ward was given the Honorary State FFA Degree. He received the award for his support of the Ridge Spring-Monetta FFA over the last 11 years as he served as the principal at Ridge Spring-Monetta High School. At the last business session, two RS-M High students received proficiency awards for their hard work related to their own Supervised Agriculture Experience Program. Both winners received a $200 award for their accomplishments. Each award will now be judged on the national level. Sally Yon received her award under the Beef Production – Entrepreneurship Category. Her SAE was directly related Angus production on her family farm. Drake Yon received his award under the Diversified Livestock Production – Entrepreneurship Category. Drake not only worked with Angus production on the farm, but he also worked in the past with other livestock being raised on the family farm. Both students worked closely with their parents developing their SAE projects. Cory Price and James Cochran also represented the Ridge Spring-Monetta FFA Chapter as voting delegates at the convention. “All the students that received awards during the South Carolina FFA Convention should be recognized for their hard work. Speaking for the Ridge Spring-Monetta Chapter, each of our student’s success is related to the work ethics of their parents and grandparents. Without their strong family work ethics instilled in these fine students, these great individual successes would not be possible,” said Michael Crim, RS-M FFA Advisor. © Copyright 2009
