Congratulations to these top three FFA chapter winners, as well as all the FFA chapters that entered this year's Battle of the Bales contest. The feedback and enthusiasm from all chapters involved has been overwhelming. Therefore, Krone NA is excited to recognize all FFA chapters who entered the contest with a $50 Participation Award. Krone NA is already making plans for a 2020 North American contest to further support the FFA chapters across North America.
We at Krone are extremely proud to see the creativity, drive and enthusiasm that these FFA chapter students — future agricultural professionals — put on display by participating in the Battle of the Bales. Great job to all FFA students!
