Warrenton High school students enrolled in agriculture education courses have the unique opportunity to go beyond the classroom and learn real-world applications in a number of disciplines. 

Whether it is in agricultural mechanics, livestock evaluation, or a dozen other areas of learning, the Missouri Agricultural Skills and Knowledge Assessment Industry Recognized Credential (MOASK IRC) program recognizes students performing at a proficient level as determined by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE).

The Warrenton High School students who have completed the required education/training and demonstrated proficiency in one or several of 14 skill areas are:

• Nicholas Benne – Forestry
• Olivia Brockfeld – Floriculture
• Ryan Calbreath – Horse Evaluation
• Katelin Doggett – Floriculture
• Faith Galler – Horse Evaluation
• Luke Gerdeman – Dairy Cattle Evaluation
• Jedidiah Gierer – Soils Evaluation
• Carley Hockensmith – Dairy Cattle Evaluation
• Chloe Kolling – Entomology
• Luke Kopmann – Dairy Foods
• Wyatt Korman – Soils Evaluation
• Matthew Kutsch – Forestry
• Katlyn Miller – Floriculture
• Kerrigan Miller – Soils Evaluation
• Lindy Miller – Floriculture
• Blake Mohrmann – Forestry
• Jacob Nave – Soils Evaluation
• Blaine Nordwald – Dairy Foods
• Eli Schneider – Meats Evaluation
• Henry Schneider – Dairy Foods
• Tyler Schneider – Forestry
• Henry Schneidler – Dairy Foods
• Claire Schroeder – Entomology
• Garrett Schroeder – Dairy Cattle Evaluation
• Landon Waller – Horse Evaluation
• Roman Womack – Horse Evaluation
• Annabelle Wright - Entomology

The technical skills assessments are conducted much like FFA judging events, but the results are used to determine a student’s proficiency and not for competitive award purposes. The program compliments the three-circle model for delivering agricultural education in schools. The circles represent learning in the classroom, leadership development through the FFA and hands-on training through each student’s Supervised Agricultural Experience.

Missouri Farm Bureau and the Missouri Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture are proud to partner with DESE and take an active role in the program.
