On October 4th the Staunton FFA Chapter competed in the Section 15 Agriculture Sales career development event. The team, consisting of Daniel Blotevogel, Riley Stipcak, Thomas Campbell, and Tyler Bequette placed first overall.
Students competing in this event gain experience and skills essential to the production and marketing of agricultural products. The team event illustrates related careers and offers a firsthand look at developing product knowledge and driving sales.Each team in the Agricultural Sales CDE consists of four students with each person's effort contributing to the team's final score. Teams are provided an example product, product information and customer profiles at the start of the event from which they collaboratively develop a sales plan. Judges then evaluate the collaboration process and the team's final sales plan. Individuals also complete a written exam that tests sales concept knowledge and complete an individual sales scenario.
With their win in the Section 15 contest, Staunton's team is now one of the top 50 teams in the state and advances to the District 3 CDE on October 24, 2023, in Springfield, IL.
