The Brillion FFA Market Plan team captured first place at the recent Wisconsin FFA State Convention held in Madison.
Team members were Erica Lamers, Blake Broehm and Val Moss. The topic of the team’s plan was marketing hard, aged goat cheese. The group conducted computer research, did hours of interviews, wrote an eight page plan and then made a 15 minute multi media presentation to a panel of judges. Erica Lamers was excited about the results, “It is a real world situation. I have dairy goats and this is something we have been thinking about for our farm.” All Blake Broehm could say was “We’re going to Nationals.” The team now competes at the National FFA Contests held in Indianapolis in October. Klessig Advances to National AriScience Fair Blake Klessig earned first place in the Zoology Division for his science fair project entitled “BST - Does It Work?” Klessig and his project will compete at the National Convention in Indianapolis in October. Other Brillion students in science fair were: Rachel Bunnell, Marissa Lambrecht, and Tanner Behnke. Klessig places fourth in Creed Blake Klessig won fourth place in the State FFA Creed Speaking Contest. Klessig had originally won the district and sectional contests to earn the right to compete in the state contest.
