Chapman FFA Member Wins John Deere Gator

Keegan Craig of the Chapman FFA chapter won a drawing for a John Deere Gator during the 94th Kansas FFA Convention, June 1-3, 2022. 

Craig’s name was drawn from 10 finalists who were randomly selected from a pool of members who completed one of the following requirements for entry: submitted an application for the American or State FFA Degree, participated in the agriscience fair, received an agri-entrepreneurship award, or were honored as a proficiency award winner or District Star winner.

Craig was eligible for the drawing for receiving his State FFA Degree and District Star. His chapter advisors are Jake Rutledge and James Weller. 

The drawing is sponsored by the John Deere Agriculture and Turf Division, American Implement Inc., BTI, Carrico Implement Co.
