Ellsworth FFA is highlighting the career of a bulk milk hauler for our #SpeakAgMichigan Challenge!
Bulk milk haulers play an important role in getting milk from the farm to the processor. They pick up raw milk from dairy farms and transport it safely to processing facilities, where it can be turned into products like milk, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream.
Without bulk milk haulers, getting fresh milk from Michigan’s dairy farms to the products we enjoy every day would be much more difficult!
We’re proud to highlight the hardworking people who help keep Michigan agriculture moving from farm to table!

Last week, six Ellsworth FFA members traveled to Indianapolis for the 99th National FFA Convention and Expo, which brought together 72,907 attendees. During the trip, they connected with members of other FFA chapters from across Michigan and the country, toured Beck’s Hybrids - largest family-owned retail seed company, attended opening sessions, and heard keynote speaker former National FFA Officer and professional speaker Scott McKain. They also took part in student leadership workshops, explored the FFA Expo and college fair, watched National Career Development Events, and enjoyed a rodeo.
It was a great trip, and everyone came home with a deeper understanding of FFA and new ideas for becoming a better leader. They were part of something much bigger than one chapter: FFA has 1,053,847 members across 9,591 active chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.

This month in #SpeakAgMichigan, Ellsworth FFA is exploring the people and careers that keep Michigan’s agricultural supply chain moving!
We interviewed Stephanie Snider from RRR Meat Processing in Buckley to learn more about the important role meat processors play in getting food from the farm to our tables. From processing locally raised livestock to helping provide food for our communities, meat processors are an important link in Michigan’s agricultural industry!
Thank you to Stephanie for taking the time to share her knowledge and help our students learn more about this important agricultural career!

Come support our varsity volleyball team and our seniors for Senior Night tonight! Varsity only at 6:00pm.
On Wednesday, the Ellsworth Agriscience class teamed up with the Antrim County Farm Bureau to help bring Project R.E.D. (Rural Education Day) to life!
Third graders from area schools, including Ellsworth Elementary, rotated through ten hands-on stations to learn about apples, cherries, corn, milk, alpacas, pumpkins, horses, farm safety, greenhouses, and even put their knowledge and skills to the test with Ag Olympics!
Everyone had a fantastic time exploring the many sides of agriculture while learning just how important it is to our everyday lives!
A big thank-you to the Antrim County Farm Bureau and everyone who helped make this fun and educational day possible!

This month in #SpeakAgMichigan, we’re exploring Michigan’s agricultural supply chain and how food travels from the farm to its final destination!
One important career that helps keep the supply chain moving is a Crop Insurance Adjuster. When crops are damaged by severe weather, insects, or disease, crop insurance adjusters assess the damage and help farmers navigate the insurance process. Their work helps farmers manage unexpected challenges and recover from losses so they can continue producing the food we depend on!
Take a look at what it takes to become a crop insurance adjuster and learn more about this important career in agriculture!

When you pick up an apple at the grocery store, you’re seeing just one small part of its journey!
This month, Ellsworth FFA is exploring the journey our food takes from the farm to our tables. We’ll be looking at the people, careers, businesses, transportation, processing, and technology that help move food from where it is grown to where we purchase and enjoy it.
Our food doesn’t simply go from farm to grocery store—there are many steps along the way, and each one plays an important role in getting safe, quality food to consumers.
Follow along this month as our students #SpeakAgMichigan and uncover the story behind the food we eat every day!

Lastly, for September students explored the world of food science by learning about the career of a flavorist!
Students researched how flavorists use science and creativity to develop and improve the flavors found in foods and beverages. They created informative flyers to share what they learned about this unique career and how it connects agriculture, food science, and the products we enjoy every day!

One of our students, Emily, recently had the opportunity to interview the Charlevoix Cheese Company to learn more about how food makes its way from the farm to our plates. They asked questions about the food-processing journey, and what it takes to turn farm products into something we enjoy every day!
Check out their interview to learn more about the journey of cheese from farm to table!

This week, our students compared fresh and frozen strawberries to see how processing can affect food. They explored differences in convenience, shelf life, nutrition, cost, and availability. They discovered that while fresh strawberries are great when they’re in season, freezing allows strawberries to be enjoyed year-round and can help reduce food waste!

This week, Myah, Chevelle, and Lillian compared the nutrition labels of two types of maple syrup. They discovered that pure maple syrup has just one ingredient: maple syrup! They also learned that, depending on how it is processed, maple syrup can be made into delicious products like maple candy, maple cream, and maple sugar—all without adding anything!
They also took a closer look at serving sizes and learned how to determine how many servings are in each product by using the nutrition label.
Great job, ladies, putting your nutrition-label skills to work!

Our students recently tackled a fun challenge: creating a recipe using locally grown Michigan ingredients while exploring the essential role food processing plays in our food supply chain.
Using fresh, locally grown apples, they baked up a classic apple pie! Beyond picking fresh fruit, their project highlights how farm crops become kitchen staples—from washing and slicing raw apples to milling wheat into baking flour and refining sugar. Without primary and secondary food processing, raw agricultural goods couldn't safely or easily transform into a delicious, flaky pie.
Check out their work to see how food science and local agriculture connect farm to table!
