Four Iola FFA members were named district winners in their respective supervised agricultural experience (SAE) categories at last week’s Southeast District Selection day.
Jenna Curry won Turf Grass Management.
“I enjoy keeping the lawns in my community looking nice, whether this is a business or a home,” she said. “I do my best to make it look the best it can. I often cut the grass to keep it healthy, green, and full as well as trimming away the weeds that grow around trees, shrubs, and other things that may be in the lawns. This keeps the yards looking very put together.
“I also often rake leaves, pick up branches, pull weeds, help plant flowers and even lay mulch to bring the full potential of the landscape out,” she continued. “I focus on running an efficient and effective operation all while keeping the health of the grass at its fullest. I look after about 25 yards on a regular basis, picking up a few more now and then.”
