JERSEYVILLE — The Jersey Community High School FFA Ag Sales team has earned a spot in the state competition after a strong performance at the District Agriculture Sales Career Development Event. The event took place on Oct. 29, 2024, in Springfield, Illinois, hosted by Brandt.

The team, comprised of students Meredith Dougherty, Katie Cornelius, Ashlen Scott, and Clay Wadlow, secured third place in the competition following extensive preparation that included study, practice, and hands-on experience.
