Ag Sales

State Ag Sales Contest

The Ag Sales Contest challenges students to demonstrate their knowledge and skills through a general knowledge exam and a live sales presentation, following the 2025 Wisconsin Ag Sales resources and rubric. Teams of four (one team per school, limited to the first 15 schools) will compete, with individual and team awards determined by exam scores and sales presentations. Each contestant will present an approved product to a judge acting as a customer, asking questions and highlighting product features and benefits—no team activity or customer service component is included. The event will be held at FVTC’s Main Campus (B104), requires FFA Official Dress, and follows the WI State FFA CDE Handbook guidelines.
