FFA Chapter Winners announced for 1st Annual Krone Battle of the Bales Contest

Krone North America is proud to announce the winners of the 1st Annual Battle of the Bales contest.   This event challenged FFA Chapters throughout the North Central and Northeast U.S to use their boundless creativity to build a unique display featuring 1) hay bales, 2) their FFA chapter, and 3) reference to Krone hay and forage equipment.   The scores of entries from FFA Chapters throughout the region were just amazing.

The winners are:

1st Place:  Eastland FFA, Lanark Illinois.  Advisor:  Cynthia Feltmeyer.  $500 award
2nd Place:  Granville FFA, Granville, NY.  Advisor:  Deby Cahan.  $250 award
3rd Place:  Sugar Valley Rural Charter School FFA, Loganton, PA.  Advisor:  Chuck Bechdel.  $150 award

Congratulations to these top three FFA Chapter winners, as well as all the FFA Chapters who entered this Battle of the Bales contest.  The feedback and enthusiasm from all the Chapters has been overwhelming.  Thus, Krone NA is recognizing all FFA chapters who entered the contest with a $50 Participation Award.  Krone NA is already making plans for a 2020 North American contest, to further support the FFA Chapters across North America.

We at Krone are extremely proud to see the creativity, drive and enthusiasm that these future agricultural professionals—FFA chapter students—put on display by participating in the Battle of the Bales.  Good for you all, FFA students!

Other participating FFA chapters include those from: TST New Visions, Marion Center, Green City, Forbes Road, Clear Fork, Princeton, Sauk Rapids-Riceville, Schoharie Valley, Cole Camp, R.A. Jamieson, Juniata Valley, Tatonic Hills, Edgerton, St. John, South Huntingdon Co., Galway and Lorain County JVS.
