Milburn Public Schools

Last post for the 2026 Johnston County Livestock Show. This year a new division for Broiler Chickens was added to the show. Exhibitors purchased ten broiler chicks and competed to see who could feed and raise the best meat chickens. Each exhibitor selected three birds to show as their entry. Members representing Milburn FFA and 4-H were Paislea Flowers and Kendall Dean. Kendall placed second in his class.

Milburn FFA Officers started off FFA week with an appreciation breakfast and waffles and fruit trays for school staff members. Throughout the week students participated in FFA emblem hunts for prizes, a project animal tour, and a coloring contest. FFA members did a great job spreading awareness of agriculture and the FFA organization with these activities.
