Congratulations to the Chillicothe FFA members on their impressive achievements at the Missouri State Fair! A special shout-out to Beau Ann Graves for winning the Overall Grand Champion Steer and to Ella Johnson for securing the Overall Grand Champion Meat Goat Carcass. It's incredible that both members made it into the Sale of Champions and the Best of Missouri Sale. Well done!
Our shop storage areas have undergone renovations, creating a more organized, insulated, and efficient space. This was made possible with most of the funding coming from a $533,333 ARPA grant received by GRTS. Thank you to Copeland Construction for their top-notch work on this project. Here's to a brighter and better workspace for everyone!

Austen's Supervised Agriculture Experience began when he purchased the agribusiness, Minnick's Lawn Care, based out of Chillicothe, Missouri. Austen decided to expand the business in 2021 by purchasing another lawn care business based out of Lake Viking in Daviess County. In 2022, Austen made another investment by purchasing snow removal equipment and diversified his operation through offering these services in the mowing and landscaping off-season. Austen provides lawn mowing, fertilizer applications, aeration, spraying, dirt work, rock spreading, skid loader work, block laying, ice melt, as well as snow removal through his agribusiness which is now named, Minnick's Snow N Mow.
