**Online Exclusive** Henrietta FFA Members Earn $28,000 in Scholarships
Fort Worth, TX, April 6, 2015: Seven Henrietta FFA members were awarded a total of $28,000 in
scholarships for their hard work throughout the 2014 Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo Calf Scramble
program. Macey Baber, Josey Cleveland, Lindsey Crafton, Keaton Davis, Laramie Dunn, Corby
Henry-Morrison and Garrett Tice each received a $4000 scholarship. These scholarships can be can
be used at any accredited college or technical school of the students choice upon high school
graduation.
These Henrietta recipients were selected from a pool of approximately 240 4H and FFA members
throughout the state that caught calves during the 2014 Fort Worth Rodeo calf scramble event.
Scholarships were awarded by the Stock Show Calf Scramble Committee based on the student’s
quality of monthly reporting and their final essay submitted to their scramble sponsor throughout this
past year.
Participation in calf scramble programs provide students “hands-on” opportunities for real world experiences
to improve and hone their skills in personal leadership, oral and written communications, animal husbandry
and financial record keeping.

Despite some blue skies, March can still bring sub-zero temperatures to Wyoming as calves hit the ground.

Land Market Report: January Land Sales
By Jared Groce
The rural land market in North Texas has had a fairly stale start to the year, with the number of transactions closed being minimal so far. There has been an increase in call volume from buyers, and some are turning into contracts, but I feel like we are still a little slower than we usually are at this time of the year. The “experts” are expecting fewer transactions in 2024 as compared to 2023, and they may be correct, because election years always seem to be slower. Once the election is over, and regardless of who wins, things seem to pick up once again. It is a strange phenomena that just seems to happen every four years.
With the amount of growth that we are currently experiencing here, I do not expect things to get any cheaper. More people means more houses, and they have to have land to build those houses on.
