    The Langford Area FFA Chapter recently concluded its competition season at the State FFA Convention, where several members earned recognition across multiple events.
    Students who placed in the top 55 percent of their respective contests included Adaline Larson, who earned a bronze ranking in livestock evaluation; Regan Bruns and Bradyn Small, who both received gold rankings and contributed to a silver finish in the meats team competition; Lizzie Gustafson, who earned a gold ranking and was part of the bronze-ranked milk quality team; Dane Horter, who received a bronze ranking in natural resources; and Caroline Bahr and Zoe Slaba, who earned bronze rankings, with the team also competing in veterinary science.
    Two students also achieved a significant milestone by earning their State FFA Degrees, the highest honor the state organization can award members. Congratulations were extended to Dylan and Bradyn for receiving this distinction.
    In addition, Mike Frey, chair of the agricultural advisory board, was honored with an honorary State FFA Degree in recognition of his work in restarting the chapter and his ongoing support throughout the district.
    The chapter will celebrate its accomplishments and recognize members during its annual banquet on Sunday.
