Historical Events that Shaped Crop Production

The purpose of the contest is for FFA members to research and build a display to educate the public about historical events that have affected crop production in Oklahoma and the U.S. The topic for 2024 is the John Deere Steel Plow. FFA members must write a brief description of the event and how it has changed agriculture then and now. The story must be in manuscript form with not more than two double-spaced typewritten pages. In addition, one, and not more than one, 4” x 6” or 5” x 7” color or black and white photograph must accompany the story depicting the event. Each page of the story and the photograph must be mounted on one full sheet (22” x 28”) black poster or foam/matte board (22’ x 30”). Posters are to be displayed horizontally. The student’s name, chapter and grade must be included on the back of the poster. Only one exhibit allowed per individual.
