On Saturday, April 1st, the group traveled to Cedar Ridge Vineyards, which is owned and operated by Karl Hesseltine and his family. While there, Karl discussed how they got started, what activities go on at the vineyard and what they need to do year round. He also discussed different problems they encounter, where they market the product, and what types of grapes they grow. FFA members attending this tour were Amber Mason, Anna Dorn, Jenna Vanderbeek, Aubrey Banks, Ashley Walker, Nick Ruskamp, Nathan Milke, and Kristen Andersen.
