Bunger Earns State FFA Degree

Posted on: June 15, 2025

Payton Bunger received his State FFA Degree at the State FFA Convention held June 9-12 at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison. Payton applied for and earned this award based on his involvement in FFA activities at the chapter, state, and national levels, community events, and a stellar SAE (Supervised Agriculture Experience). He accepted his degree on stage at the 2025 State Degree recipient session, from (now retired) State FFA President, Jescey Thompson.
