The Madera FFA Best Informed Greenhand (BlG) team recently competed at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo in the FFA State Finals, where they were named State FFA champions.

The team's five FFA freshman members - Zach Pruitt, Mika Petrucci, Heidi Richardson, Ali Baltz, and Vincent Urena - competed against 73 other teams from all over California. Each team is made of five members and the contest is the largest of all contests held at the State FFA Finals.

These five individuals had a great day of competition and will be representing California in a National Competition held in Louisville, Ky. at the National FFA Convention in late October. Individually, they did outstanding, with Zach Pruitt taking first place, Vincent Urena coming in second, Heidi Richardson in third and Mika Petrucci taking fourth place in the individual category.
