A new contest was added to this year’s Arkansas State Fair! The Arkansas Farm Bureau introduces us to some of the FFA and 4-H students involved as they share more about the experience.

The new Agricultural Mechanics Show highlights projects constructed by Arkansas FFA and 4-H members on their way to becoming experts in metalworking and other skills through their studies in ag mechanics.

A few of the students were further recognized as the Bebee FFA Division Champion and Reserve Champion for their submissions to the exposition!
