Every year, the Department of Applied Economics and Cooperative Extension Service supplies a Cooperative Quiz prepared by Dr. Ruby Ward, and sponsored by the Utah Council of Farmer Cooperatives. This year our payson FFA Chapter was represented well at the State FFA Cooperative Quiz Competition on October 14, 2014.
The quiz is made up of about 30-40 questions about cooperatives. Each Chapter in the state is allowed to take a maximum of three of its members to compete.
After the Quiz has taken place the competitors have the privilege of a free dinner with the rest of the contestants, advisors and all those present. During the dinner the winners are announced and awards are given out.
Cash awards of $150, $100, and $50 are given to the top three scoring individuals is offered $1000 to attend the FFA washington Leadership Conference during the summer. Chapter awards of $150, $100, and $50 are awarded to the chapters with the best scoring team.
From our chapter, Melanie Ward, Carlysa Openshaw, and Rylan Huff attended the competition and all did very well. Rylan was Third High Individual and won $50! Way to go Rylan! Our team took first place and received $150! Great job to those who competed! We cannot wait until next year!
