What an incredible Farm Day!
A huge thank you to Adam and Jana Dirksen and Versailles FFA members Alayna and Levi Dirksen for graciously hosting this year’s event on their beautiful farm. We truly appreciated their hospitality and the opportunity to share the agriculture story in such a welcoming space!
We are so proud of our Versailles FFA members for their hard work, dedication, and leadership in educating over 800 individuals about agriculture, farm safety, and environmental stewardship.
A special thank you to:
Julie Bergman, Jim & Gayle Rismiller, Brian & Lisa Bergman, and Laura Wuebker for your support as adult assistants, timekeepers, and transportation helpers!
Jim, Erika, and Lauren Grogean for their fantastic presentation on bees and pollination!
Darke County Soil and Water for teaching about water quality and bringing the hands-on sand topography demonstration!
We were excited to welcome students from Versailles, Ansonia, Franklin Monroe, Russia, Covington, Ft. Loramie, Sidney Holy Angels, and two homeschool programs—thank you all for participating!
Gratitude also goes to our amazing sponsors:
Reiter Dairy for the chocolate milk
Dannon for the yogurt
GrowNextGen & Ohio Soybean for the soy ink supplies and coordinator

A big shoutout to our Farm Day Committee Co-Chairs: Maggie McGlinch, Lauren Grogean, and Danica York, and our officer team: Jayna Luthman (VP), Greta Broering (Secretary), and Rhylan Broerman (Reporter) for their outstanding planning and leadership.
The weather was perfect, the energy was high, and the message of agriculture was loud and clear.
What a great day to celebrate and share the story of agriculture!
