Levi Meiwes misses the rush of attending an FFA competition.

“You’re scared. And it’s stressful because you’ve been working for weeks for this contest,” he recounted.

“It’s also an adrenaline rush. Here’s your chance to win District. To win State. We had two teams go to Nationals in dairy judging the last two years. It’s both exciting and scary.”

But since the coronavirus pandemic hit last year, the competitions are very different. There have been fewer, and they’ve all been online.
