A total of 137 FFA members exhibited a total of 570 samples of corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, miscellaneous crop, and forages at the 2021 Sleepy Eye FFA Crop Show.

The purpose of the crop show is to exhibit a sample of a crop that will be judged on appearance: uniform color and size as well as having no defects or unwanted debris. Making a crop sample for the show involves a lot of patience and attention to detail. The longer amount of time you spend preparing a crop sample, the more success you will have in the end. After the crop show, the crops are stored until the county and state fairs the following summer.

The 2021 FFA Crop Show was a huge success, and would not have been possible without the involvement of the community! Thank you to everyone who contributed including: donating crops and judging the crops.

The results are as follows:
