Payson High School FFA is at the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, IN.
Our first day of tours took us behind the scenes of several unique industries, showing us how agriculture and skilled trades play an important role in our everyday lives.
⚾ Louisville Slugger Factory – We learned about precision machining and the importance of sustainable forest management in producing one of baseball’s most iconic products.
🐎 Churchill Downs – We explored the horse racing industry and learned more about the business and agricultural practices behind this historic sport.
🐄 Harvest Home Dairy – At this small, family-owned dairy, we learned about dairy cattle husbandry, milking procedures, sanitation, and the process of making cheese and yogurt. It was a great opportunity to see how hard work and care go into producing the dairy products we enjoy every day!
We can’t wait to see what the rest of the week brings! 🌾💙💛
