Four Fort Frye FFA students earned the Ohio AgriBusiness Association Agribusiness and Production Systems Certification during the 2025-2026 School year: Peyton Offenberger, Ethan Wagner, Christy Willis, and Ty Worthington.
The Ohio AgriBusiness Association provides an industry-recognized, agribusiness credential that verifies high school students' expertise in the areas of agriculture, agribusiness, and production systems. To be eligible for the program, a student must be enrolled in a career-technical agricultural program and complete four required courses, where they are engaged in learning and applying technical skills in foundational agricultural concepts.
Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAE) – student projects that involve real-world agricultural activities conducted outside of planned classroom and laboratory time – are also integral to attaining the OABA credential. A student’s SAE must be an entrepreneurial, placement or research-driven project about the agriculture industry with at least 500 hours of documented project work.
