OXFORD – Oxford Academy and Central School was chosen to host the FFA sub-state contest last Saturday. Five Oxford students also participated in the contest.

More than 250 students from 15 school districts across eastern New York State attended the event, which challenges students in a variety of contests that pertain to the agricultural curriculum of the club.

Agriculture teacher and FFA advisor Crystal Aukema said she was especially proud of the group that had worked so hard to prepare for the competition.
