ICC AG Students Excel in Statewide Competition

Illinois Central College agriculture students showcased their knowledge and skills in the 2021 Professional Agricultural Students (PAS) State Conference held virtually in February.

Collectively, the ICC students earned 11 first-place honors, seven second-place honors, and one fourth-place. A total of 31 ICC students competed in the job interview and agriculture team competitions in which three-member teams were scored on written tests, problem-solving, and a team presentation. The seven different team competitions included the specializations of crops, soils, precision agriculture, beef, sheep, swine, and overall livestock. For the job interview competition, students were scored on a mock interview, resume, and cover letter.

This statewide competition included students from seven different four-year universities and community colleges.
