Agriscience Student<br />
Recognition Program<br />
14<br />
Lindsey Fimple of the Vinita<br />
<strong>FFA</strong> Chapter in Oklahoma was<br />
named the <strong>2002</strong> Agriscience<br />
Student of the Year. This award<br />
honors students who have<br />
exceptional research projects<br />
involving agriscience skills and<br />
the use and application of concepts<br />
learned in their high<br />
school agriculture class.<br />
Fimple was recognized for her<br />
study involving the prevention<br />
of algae blooms from poultry litter<br />
runoff. She started her<br />
research with the goal of finding<br />
an environmentally friendly way<br />
A smile lit up Lindsey Fimple’s face when she was named the<br />
<strong>2002</strong> Agriscience Student of the Year.<br />
Sponsored by Monsanto as a special project of the National <strong>FFA</strong><br />
Foundation.<br />
to solve the problem of runoff<br />
damage. This research is important<br />
because poultry litter runoff<br />
could potentially affect drinking<br />
water. Because of her success at<br />
the Oklahoma Junior Acadamy<br />
of Science (OJAS), Fimple’s<br />
paper was selected to be presented<br />
at the national meeting of<br />
the American Association for<br />
the Advancement of Science in<br />
Boston. Fimple’s application of<br />
classroom knowledge to a realworld<br />
problem earned her the<br />
title of Agriscience Student of<br />
the Year.<br />
