Texico had five students receive the degrees — Ben Crist, Danika Nelson, Nathan Phipps, Cole Schaap and Cale Sherwood.
Also receiving degrees were Melrose’s Ethan Wright and Elida’s Lyle Logemann.
Logemann was also elected as the Western Region vice president for 2019-20.
The degree requires members to invest $10,000 into agriculture, compete 50 hours of community service and demonstrate leadership abilities and civic involvement.
