Activites and Career Devlopment Events
FFA has something for everyone. Listed below are the different camps, CDE's and other activites that HHCC FFA members can get involved with.
Career Development Events
Forestry
To stimulate student interest and to promote forestry instruction in the agricultural education curriculum and to provide recognition for those who have
demonstrated skills and competencies as a result of forestry instruction. Students ID tree leaves, wood blocks and take a written test over forestry.
Dairy
To provide a competitive event for agricultural education students, emphasizing skills in dairy cattle evaluation, selection and dairy herd management.
Horse and Pony
The purpose of the Horse Evaluation Career Development Event is to stimulate the study of and interest in equine science selection, management and production through the agricultural education curriculum.
Livestock
To provide a competitive event for agricultural education students, emphasizing skills in the livestock industry including; evaluation, selection of
desirable traits, communication and decision making skills, and management
Poultry and Eggs
Poultry Evaluation Career Development Event stimulates learning activities relative to production and management, processing, marketing and consumption of poultry products.
Floriculture
Floriculture Career Development Event is designed to promote the study of and interest in production and retailing of flowers, plants and foliage through the agricultural education curriculum.
Small Engines
As the small engine industry keeps pace with the space age, it becomes increasingly important that accuracy in workmanship be maintained at the highest degree of perfection. The more complex mechanisms of today's automobiles and the increased awareness of safe operation of small engine equipment requires a degree of accuracy in workmanship that was unheard of a few short years ago. Since the main goal of the Indiana FFA Small Engine CDE is to interest and prepare high school students for rewarding careers in the mechanic's service field, we feel that all involved with the event should continue to place emphasis on the importance of high quality workmanship.
Veterinary Science
The Veterinary Science CDE provides opportunities for participants to develop technical knowledge and demonstrate practical skills in the field of veterinary science.
Leadership CDE's
Please check out the Indiana FFA webpage for a complete list of all leadership events students can compete in.
