Adair Co. FFA places 8th in National Competition! From Gabby Barnes The Adair County FFA placed 8th in the nation in the National Crop Scouting Contest! Team members were Ethan Wooten, Lane Kelsay, Braxton Irvin, and Hudson Hancock. After winning the state contest in July, the team spent the next two months preparing to represent Adair County at the national level in Champaign, IL. After driving up to Illinois before the contest, the students spent the two days meeting with agronomists to prepare for their event. We had the opportunity to learn from some of the best in the nation, including Kris Ehler from Ehler Brothers Company, Jeffrey Reeks and Andrew Laughrey from Sunrise FS, and Jerry Lighty from United Prairie. In their visits, the students were able to learn about advanced technology, including getting a tour of a sprayer with state of the art "See and Spray" technology. They also learned about genetics from popular seed developers, such as Corteva, and were taught about how a producer evaluates different genetic options in their seed selection based on their soil quality and personal goals. We received a lesson on the management of seed corn crops as well. We were also able to do some scouting at the test plot managed by the Rantoul FFA.

International students connect with region through host families By Duane Bonifer For Columbia resident Glen Hunt, being a host family for Lindsey Wilson University international students has broadened his linguistic skills. Hunt is one of nearly four dozen families in the region who serve as host families to Lindsey Wilson's international undergraduate population. On Friday, September 11, 2026, some of the host families and LWU international students gathered at a meet-and-greet at the university's International Student Program House. Lindsey Wilson has 196 international undergraduate students from 51 countries this school year on the A.P. White Campus. Host families play an important role in many of those students' lives. While students live in university housing, host families agree to meet with them a couple times a semester to make sure they are adjusting to life in a new country. Host families often invite the students to celebrate holidays and other special days in their homes. International students are also introduced to American culture through a myriad of activities and events coordinated by the Lindsey Wilson International Student Programs.
