Kylie Schakel, a sophomore from Indiana in LLCC’s ag transfer program competed at last weeks Illinois Collegiate Farm Bureau Discussion Meet in Bloomington. In the event, students research four possible topics relating to the current ag industry. They then present their suggestions on how to solve the issues in a round table format with other students. Schakel made it to the finals, where she placed third overall. She is a member of the LLCC Livestock Judging Team, LLCC Ag Club where she serves as secretary and Illinois PAS as a vice president. She plans on transferring to study ag business and policy after LLCC.

Congratulations, Kylie!
