ideas as well. Shannon keeps up on tracking drones for crop scouting. Tracking of grazing

their computers and mo- bile devices. There will be show-and-tell plus work sessions. Leaders will show new equipment. The meeting is for the

poning the January meeting was schools
were closed for severe weather. "School buses couldn't bring FFA mem- bers who attend," Shan- non said.
