Franklin Monroe-MVCTC FFA Team Places in Local Contest
The Franklin Monroe-MVCTC FFA Agricultural and Industrial Diagnostics judging team of Wyatt Shoemaker and Clint Ducket placed 7th and the team of Ryan Morris and Nate McMillan placed 7th in the Darke County contest. The contest was held at Koenig Equipment and employees of Koenig’s ran the contest for teams from Darke County FFA Chapters.
The Agricultural and Industrial Diagnostics contest involves a team of two members. The team had 6 tractors that were bugged with problems and the team had to identify the bug and then fix the problem. Examples of problems that can be found in the tractors are bad fuses, broken electrical wiring, blown lights, safety switches disconnected, obstructed air flow, and others. It challenges the team members to work in a systematic method to troubleshoot the problem, utilize computers to help in identifying the problem and to correct it. The team members also had a written test to take concerning similar topics. Members had 15 minutes to complete each of the stations of the contest.
Morris and McMillan also represented Franklin Monroe at the District 5 Agricultural and Industrial Diagnostics judging contest. This contest was hosted by the Coldwater Tri-Star Ag. Mechanics program. Much like at the county contest, the team had to identify bugs that were causing issues with the operation of the tractors and other equipment. They needed to be familiar with both the operation of the equipment and the use of computer diagnostics in order to properly identify and fix the problems. The Franklin Monroe FFA chapter would like to thank the FFA members for representing the FFA chapter at these events.
