Teague Future Farmers of America dominated the Plant ID contest held Oct. 9 as part of the annual Range & Pasture Plant Identification and the Wildlife and Recreation Management Career Development events.

The Plant ID contest winners were: first place, Cody Fowler, Teague FFA; second place, Allison Dycus, Teague FFA; and third place, Maddie Tharp, Teague FFA.
