GTRA FFA Chapter President, Carter Koenck, and Chapter Reporter, Mara Koenck recently served as as mentors for the Bacon Buddies program. Carter and Mara had the opportunity to work along side a student with special needs, preparing her for the Bacon Buddies show. The Bacon Buddies program gives students with disabilities an opportunity to work with show pigs in a capacity that would not otherwise be possible. Students learn about hogs, the industry, and how to show. The students, along side their buddies then show their pigs in a show at the Iowa State Fair. Carter and Mara both enjoyed the experience and can not wait to participate again next year. Carter said, “This is the coolest thing I have ever been involved in, and I can not wait for upcoming years”. Thank you, Carter and Mara for representing our chapter and community in such a positive way! DarenSuzy Koenck Caryn Caye Robinson
