You may have noticed plenty of school buses in Trenton today, and lots of foot traffic on the campus of North Central Missouri College.

All of the extra hustle and bustle in Trenton is due to approximately 1,700 high school students from Area 2 FFA chapters.  There are 70 high schools that participated in the annual North Central Missouri College Ag contest day held at North Central Missouri College on Thursday, March 23.

NCMC agriculture students also assisted with various events and organization of the day.
