  1. Oral Reason Score Comment(s)


  1. Oral Reasons or Questions - Some discussion has been entertained about allowing FFA members to give oral reasons OR answer class questions.

    -Questions Option: NOT be eligible to compete to represent Iowa at National FFA.
    (NOT eligible to be winning team)

    -Reasons Option: Eligible to compete to represent Iowa at National FFA. (Eligible to win)

    I like the idea of conducting a Livestock CDE with two options for members to compete.
    Yes
    No


  1. This Reasons or Questions idea would probably...
    increase participation.
    decrease participation.
    cause no impact on participation.
