Marketing Plan
The Marketing Plan CDE helps participants gain an understanding of the marketing process, which aides in the development of partnerships and successful agri-marketing industry relations. Prior to attending the state event, teams research and develop a marketing plan for an agricultural product, supply or service. The teams then present their solution for marketing problems to a panel of public relations, advertising and marketing professionals. The FFA members are evaluated on the various parts of the marketing plan, including market analysis, business proposition, action plan, budget management, evaluation and the effectiveness of their presentation.
Written plan submissions are due April 15, 2024 11:59 PM.

Judges for Sub-Flights
Like all CDEs, each participating chapter must provide a judge (one per… if you have multiple teams) for sub-flights.
Contest Day Conflicts
We have to keep strict time in order to keep on schedule on contest day. It is essential that your complete team is ready when their time comes on contest day. I will work with advisors on a case-by-case basis to resolve conflicts.
