Members of Hillsboro High School FFA chapter weren’t sure if they were going to the national convention in October in Indianapolis until the chapter was selected as the recipient of a $2,500 donation through the America’s Farmers Grow Communities program sponsored by the Monsanto Fund.

Local farmers Warren and Anita Unruh were drawn as winners for Marion County of $2,500. They designated the HHS FFA chapter.

Not all of the funds were spent on the convention.

“I would like to send some of the students to a leadership conference,” adviser Sonya Roberts said.
