March 14-19, Loyalton FFA attended the State Leadership Conference in Ontario, California. The students learned about water and the California Water Wars starting in 1913 with Mr. William Mulholland using all the water from Owens Lake so in 1941 water that fed Mono Lake which was diverted into the aqueduct to send to the growing population of the Los Angeles area. Between 1974-1994 Mr. Gaines and the Mono Lake Committee were engaged in litigation with Los Angeles to stop the diversion. Loyalton FFA traveled down to Ontario with Butte Valle-Doris FFA viewing other sites along the way including the Japanese American Enterment Camp that was the bases of the book “Farwell the Manzanar.”  While at the conference, the students attended sessions with speakers, awards, competitions, business sessions for the two voting delegates, and the witnessed the installment of this year’s state officer team. Loyalton FFA also had the opportunity to tour the Long Beach Aquarium, attend the career/college expo, and leadership workshops. Everyone made new connections and were able to visit old friends!
On March 30,  eight students will receive their California State FFA Degree the the Superior Regional Meeting at the Yuba-SUtter Fairgrounds on March 30th starting at10 am. Families and will travel to the meeting to support the chapter and other students from the Northern part of the State.  The State FFA Degree is awarded to FFA members who have demonstrated the highest level of commitment to the California State FFA Association and made significant accomplishments in their Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAEs). Approximately 1,800 State FFA Degrees are handed out each year, this 2023 year, there are 2400 in CA and 361 in our Superior Region !!!
Congratulations to Case Emsoff, Bobbi Griffin, Alexxis Gunier, Sophia Holland, Josiah Perez, Alexandria Siquedo, Adam Smeltzer, and Roy White for getting theirs! They will be added to the history of our wonderfully strong FFA chapter’s history.
