Kamiakin FFA Students Meet Congressman Doc Hastings

The Annual Pasco Agriculture and Trade Show was held at TRAC January 5th and 6th. Its purpose is to inform individuals in the agricultural community about the newest federal and state policies related to agriculture and how those policies will affect farmers in our area. It is also an avenue to distribute information about new techniques that are being used to improve efficiency of operation and address environmental concerns.

A series of guest speakers participated, including Congressman Doc Hastings as a key presenter. The Congressman discussed the new administration’s stance on the removal of the Columbia and Snake River dams and what his office was doing to prevent that from happening.

Kamiakin Agriculture and FFA students were invited to participate and have a booth where they could showcase the different projects they are working on at school. Both individual projects and FFA projects at Kamiakin were showcased. Students presented their program of activities for National Chapter (FFA). The students created three Tri-fold posters, one for each of the three development areas and then listed and had pictures of all the projects that we do within the chapter. Samples of different projects were shared representing metal art, centerpieces, and our stuffed fish (used in the teaching program) which was displayed on the table in front of the posters.
