Coming out the prelims the team was in 2nd place in the state which qualified them for the State Finals on April 28th. During the State Finals held at the Waterman Dairy Farm on the Campus of The Ohio State University the students completed live evaluations on 3 classes where they would make observations that they would use for the presentation of oral reasons for their places. At the conclusion of the finals the team from Arcanum ended up in 2nd place overall with Alex Weiss placing first overall as an individual. The team will be awarded a banner from the Ohio FFA and Alex will be recognized on stage at the Ohio FFA State Convention. 

By placing 2nd the team is qualified to represent the Ohio FFA at the World Dairy Expo in Madison Wisconsin.
