Chapter History

The HLV FFA Chapter was established in 2014. The 2014 - 2015 school year was the first year that our chapter was active. Members from that year include: Emily Otte, Brandon Schafbuch, Camiel Blomme, Edmond Henning, Payton Robison, Dakota Huber, Wyatt Kaplan, Jacob Coats, Nate Van Buren, Wade Van Otegham, Garner Lynn, Alex Miller, Mandi Niemeyer, Emma Cheney, Brooke Kuesel, and Corrie Craig. Corey Van Otegham was our chapter's first advisor. 

In 2017, Morgan Dietrich became the advisor and she is currently still the BGM-HLV FFA's advisor. 

Our chapter is now a combination of the BGM Community School District, serving the communities of Brooklyn, Guernsey, and Malcom and the HLV Community School District serving the communities of Hartwick, Ladora, and Victor. 

In 2025, the Chapter name officially changed to BGM-HLV to fully represent our service to both communities.
