MADISON, Wis. – The River Ridge FFA Chapter was named the state winning FFA Land Evaluation Career Development Event Team. Team Members include Jared Breuer, Logan Drone, Ian Adrian and Bryr Clark. Their advisor is Madeline Esser. Additionally, the top individual for this event was Jared Breuer.

One of the event’s greatest values is its ability to develop decision-making skills while increasing student exposure to specialists in the industry. Students become acquainted with market and industry trends because the contest is kept current with industry standards.

The State Land Evaluation CDE was held last fall by the Southwest Technical College.

2^nd Monticello, Advisor: Ryan Indergand

3^rd Potosi, Advisor: Tracy Brunton

4^th Lancaster, Advisors: David Wright & Jessica Schaefer
