Crystalyx Cards are in.  Be looking for an FFA member to get yours!  The $20 purchase of a Crystalyx Card saves the producer $40 on one ton of Crystalyx.   Net saving to the producer is $20 per ton.  This has a great fundraiser for our FFA Chapter bringing in near $3000 last year. The SC/W FFA would like to thank the Forestburg Farmer’s Elevator, Wessington Springs Farm and Home Center, and Stan’s of Alpena for their support of the FFA through this program. Contact Mr. Gross at shane.gross@k12.sd.us or by phone at the school if you have any questions.
