State AMSTA Contest

On February 5th we got up early on a cold and snowy day to travel to Iowa Lakes Community College at Emmetsburg to compete at the state Ag Machinery Service Technician Award (AMSTA) contest. There were 16 teams of two students competing in the competition. The competition consisted of a written test, measuring, parts identification and several diagnostic problems. At the end of the day our teams placed 1st, 2nd, 5th and 7th and we also took 1st, 2nd and 3rd individuals. The 1st and 2nd place teams will compete at the national AMSTA competition at St. Cloud, Mn. in March.
Congratulations men, NICC and the John Deere Tech program are proud of you!
