FFA Dairy Judging Team Takes Second at Nationals!
Awesome news from Indianapolis! The Petaluma FFA Dairy Cattle Team placed second in National Finals! The team of Melanie Hanlon, Megan Binford, Morgan Hartman and Derrick Pomi put Petaluma back on the map with a terrific showing. In the past, the top three teams have qualified for the International Competition in Edinburgh, Scotland! We will watch to see if this group is headed across the pond, as have teams in the recent past. Way to go, Petaluma FFA, advisers Kim Arntz, Cara Parlato, and Jake Dunn, and all the parents who dedicate their time to FFA.
