INDIANAPOLIS – A long ride home?
The Montezuma FFA students probably weren’t aware of time or distance when they traveled home from the FFA National Convention.
Montezuma earned one team championship – in Farm Business Management – and had two individual national champions – Brayden Stockman in Farm Business Management and Mia Boulton in Ag Communications.

Montezuma FFA arrived home Friday afternoon, Oct. 29, to a fire truck escort from the Malcom/Montezuma exit off Interstate 80.
Here is a summary of what Montezuma’s three competing teams did:
Farm Business Management – national champions.
Brayden Stockman was the individual national champion. Haylie Moore placed second, Matthew Ranfeld was third, and Jaemi Hartman placed ninth. An alternate team member was Sawyer Tindle.
Ag Communications – Fourth in the nation.
Mia Boulton was the individual national champion, with Madison Johannes placing ninth. Boulton won for her journalistic writing practicum and Johannes won for her opinion writing practicum.
The other two members were Kallie Robison and Abby Pope. Robison was the web designer for the group and Pope was videographer. Alternates were Maguire De Jong, Abby Cheney and Owen Cook.
Floriculture – Sixth in the nation.
Team members Makenna Johannes, Camryn Brennan and Alivia Cline each earned gold medals for their individual scores. Madison Van Zee earned silver.
It was quite a week in Indy for the Montezuma FFA, and more details will be forthcoming.
