It’s no secret that the Taylorville FFA does fantastic when it comes to shows and President of the Taylorville FFA Lizzie Schafer speaks highly of all of the FFA members. She got to show off a little hardware herself as she won a National Proficiency Award in Agri-Science Animal Systems. Schafer says she was shocked to have won.

Schafer says this project has been in the works for a while.

A lot of the work that was done for the National Convention was done online and the top four finalists got to interview.

Schafer got a $1,000 scholarship and a pin for her jacket. Schafer said she hopes this will help get more support for local FFA chapters like Taylorville.
