Megan Lamb Heads To Nationals
The National FFA Organization announced that Megan Ruth Lamb, from Hamilton, was selected as a national finalist for the National FFA Proficiency Award in Agriscience Research - Plant Systems.
Megan is one of only four people chosen to compete for this award at the national finals to be held in October during the 90th National FFA Convention& Expo in Indianapolis. The proficiency awards recognize outstanding student achievement in agribusiness gained through establishment of a new business, working for an existing company or otherwise gaining hands on career experience. The Agriscience Research - Plant Systems Award is one of 47 proficiency program areas FFA members can participate in to develop valuable experience and leadership skills at the local, state and national levels.
Megan, a member of the Stockbridge Valley FFA Chapter, became eligible for the national award after winning the New York state FFA competition earlier this year. In recognition of being a finalist, each of the four finalists will receive a plaque and $500. The national winner of the Agriscience Research-Plant Systems Award will receive an additional $500 during a special ceremony at the National FFA Convention & Expo.
This award is sponsored by FMC Corporation Agricultural Solutions as a special project of the National FFA.
