Farmer’s Markets:
This year's Farmer’s Markets are up and running with vendors every Thursday from 3 pm - 6 pm
starting on May 25th through September 28th. To participate, vendors must Grow It, Make It, or Bake It
locally in Broadwater County. However, no garage sale, resale, multi-level marketing products, live
animals, or flea market-type items are accepted.
Broadwater FFA has taken part in this event selling items such as flowers and soap. It’s a good
opportunity to sell FFA student-made/grown items to the community. However, with the summer still
ongoing, we’re far from done being involved with the farmers market. Broadwater FFA will continue to
sell our items in preparation for the upcoming year, which promises to be fun, eventful, and progressive
toward our goals as a chapter and an official team.
SAE Highlights:
So far this summer, only a few students have scheduled and completed their Supervised
Agricultural Experience (SAE) visits, including Kaitlyn Noyes, Amanda Pesiscka, and Grace Kroeger.
- Kaitlyn has a breeding beef and show steer operation.
- Amanda does ranching and farming for her grandpa, owns her own cattle operation, and does rodeo.
- Grace has a breeding/dairy goat operation as well as chickens, pigs, and sheep.
All of them are well on their way in their projects, plus Kaitlyn and Grace are preparing for the
upcoming Broadwater County Fair in the first week of August. While these are only a few SAEs
reviewed by Mrs. Loughery, our Ag Instructor, others will be scheduled throughout the rest of the
summer.
All SAE visits consist of individually showing our operations and talking over a yearly review of
our projects. We then grade ourselves on our performance, and then that is compared to our instructor's
performance score that she gives us. Additionally, we talk with her about goals and areas of improvement in
the upcoming year.
