Among the winners of LDE competitions was Tri-City United FFA President Isaak Worm, who took 1st place in the Extemporaneous Public Speaking event.
TCU FFA Advisor Mike Reeser said, “Isaak was one of two Region 7 winners who advanced to the state. In this event, members are required to familiarize themselves with approximately 18 current agricultural topics and during the contest they draw one of the topics and then prepare and deliver a four-to-six minute speech to three judges and then answer questions.”
Students competing in the category have just 30 minutes to prepare using five resources the student has brought.
Reeser continued, “Isaak placed 1st in the state and has earned the right to compete at the national level at the National FFA Convention in October 2026.”
