Cisne FFA members have recently achieved notable success across several regional competitions.
On Thursday, October 2nd, Cisne FFA’s Ag Sales team—Ava Greifzu, Antenella Cline, Hagen Howard, and Kadence Hyder—finished second in the Section 23 Ag Sales Leadership Development Event hosted by Wabash Valley College. Nineteen students from five schools competed. Individual honors went to Hagen Howard (3rd overall), Ava Greifzu (5th), and Antenella Cline (8th). The 2025 Ag Sales product was a Rimol Greenhouse package, and competitors faced a written quiz, a product sales scenario, and a team activity. The Cisne team will advance to the district competition at Rend Lake College later in October.
