Congratulations to Jonesville FFA members Shannon Rossman and Alice Hughes!!! These two young ladies took First Place in the National FFA Agriscience competition for their research project on bacteria buildup on needles that were used to vaccinate swine. Shannon and Alice started working on this project back in 2018. After making some adjustment to their research after a 3rd place finish last year they were able to earn the top award for their efforts. This is a great accomplishment and the first time that any Jonesville FFA member was able to win a first place at the national convention.
