These 15 star finalists represent the best overall supervised agricultural experience programs of the 727 senior FFA members who are being recommended to receive the State FFA Degree, the highest degree the state  FFA Association can bestow upon its members.

A panel of judges interviewed the 15 finalists and pre-selected the winners.

The announcement of  State Star Farmer, State Star in Agribusiness and State Star in Agricultural Placement was to made Wednesday night  at the Cox Convention Center in Oklahoma City.

In addition, each of the 15 District Stars receives a $250 cash award co-sponsored by Oklahoma Farm Bureau, The Chickasha Nation and McDonalds.  The three state winners each receive a $2,000 cash award and the Governor’s Trophy sponsored by Blue & Gold Sausage Co., Sirloin Club of Oklahoma, Hartzog Conger Cason & Neville, Farm Credit Services of East Central Oklahoma and the Oklahoma Association of Electric Cooperatives.

Propp’s local FFA chapter advisors are Devin DeLozier and Shane Johnson.
