🌾🚜 Maquoketa FFA Ag Safety Day 2025 🚨🐐🐰

Yesterday, Maquoketa FFA hosted our annual Ag Safety Day for area 3rd graders from Briggs, Sacred Heart, Andrew, and Delwood schools! Students rotated through hands-on learning stations to build awareness about farm and community safety.

A huge thank you to our community partners who led stations:
🔥 Maquoketa Fire Department
🚓 Maquoketa Police Department
🐾 Jess from Wag More

Students also heard from Chris Cornelius, who shared her personal story about a farm accident and reminded them how important it is to learn from her experience to stay safe!

FFA members also did an outstanding job leading stations on:
Animal Safety
Animal Biosecurity
Lawn Mower Safety
Small Power Equipment Safety
PTO Safety

HOSA members presented about CPR and RICE as well!

This event would not have been possible without the generosity of our sponsors:

River Valley Cooperative • Becker Veterinary Clinic • Maquoketa Feeds • Citizens State Bank • Kunau Implement • Cornelius Seed Corn • Rolling Hills Veterinary • Eastern Iowa Overhead Door • Hwy 64 Auction • Franzen Family Tractor • Maquoketa Livestock Exchange • Innovative Ag Service • Jackson County Fairgrounds • BG Salvage • Maquoketa Fire Department • Novak Custom Baling • Cavanagh Mowing • Clark Saw Center
