Is that a tractor on the road ahead? Here’s why…

Ag/Outdoor, News

February 18th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

Today (Saturday) marks the start of F-F-A Week in Iowa. Scott Johnson, executive secretary for the Iowa F-F-A Association, says the theme for the week-long observance is “Transform: Purpose to Action.” The week signals not only the 70th annual F-F-A Week but another special date for the program. “On the 23rd will be the 100th anniversary of the federal Smith-Hughes Act, passed on February 23rd of 1917,” Johnson says. “The Smith-Hughes Act is actually what established what was called vocational agriculture at the time in public schools.”

That laid the foundation for creation of the F-F-A just 11 years later. Johnson says there will be special events statewide to honor of F-F-A Week, including Drive Your Tractor to School Day in some areas. “You see a little bit of everything,” Johnson says. “Some will do an Ag Olympics, they’ll have appreciation breakfasts, pancake feeds, activities that engage the community, school, students, FFA members, staff dress-up days.”

Iowa has 232 chapters of F-F-A and last year counted 14-thousand-700 members statewide. On the web at http://www.iowaffa.com

No. 25 Drake women roll to 14th straight win

Sports

February 18th, 2017 by Ric Hanson

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) — Brenni Rose made four 3-pointers and scored 14 points and No. 25 Drake defeated Indiana State 64-45 on Friday night in the Bulldogs’ first game since making it into the Top 25 for the first time in over 16 years.

Becca Jonas added 10 points and a team-high seven rebounds and Becca Hittner also scored 10 points for the Bulldogs (21-4, 14-0 Missouri Valley), whose last poll appearance came on Dec. 3, 2001. Lizzy Wendell, the MVC’s top scorer at 21.7 points per game, scored only five on 2-of-7 shooting in 23 minutes and had her nation-best streak of at least 10 points end at 102 games.

Rhagen Smith led the Sycamores (12-12, 6-7) with 11 points and seven rebounds. Indiana State, the MVC’s top defensive team at 56.3 points a game, kept the score down against the Bulldogs, the league’s top offensive team at 83.8. But Drake still shot 47 percent and was 10 of 19 from the arc. Indiana State shot 30 percent and 5 of 18 from 3-point range. The teams combined for 40 turnovers.

The Bulldogs scored the game’s first 10 points and never trailed. They outscored the Sycamores 20-9 to break the game open in the third quarter, finishing the period with a 52-31 lead. Drake won its 15th straight game, one away from tying the program record.
