FFA Workshop

Dear FFA Advisors:

The College of the Ozarks extends an invitation for your FFA Chapter to attend our annual FFA Workshop on Saturday, March 4, 2023. For the second time, we will have two CDE contests scored through JudgingCard.com. These CDE’s are Dairy Cattle and Entomology. For Dairy Cattle and Entomology, the students are responsible for bringing their own scantrons that are compatible with JudgingCard. Registration for the workshop will be from 7:45 to 8:15 a.m. in the Youngman Agriculture Building. Information packets and score cards will be available for pick up at that time. We ask that only advisors come to the registration desk for the packets and scorecards. Also, please remember that tobacco products are not permitted on campus.

We will be having speaking events again this year. There is limited space in these events and students will be admitted on a first-come-first-serve basis.

In order for the workshop to run smoothly, we ask that you register online at FFA Workshop Registration. This year you will receive a confirmation email showing your registration. If it is not possible for you to register online, please return the pre-registration form to the address listed below. The entry fee of $30 is due no later than February 26, 2023. Any school not pre-registered will be charged $60 the day of the Workshop. Please make checks payable to College of the Ozarks and mail them to:
