If I don’t have your Leadership CDE materials done and handed in; do them TODAY and email them to me.  They were due yesterday, the 4th.   Since I said Thursday, the 4th in Tuesday’s post (and there is no such day this year), I’ll split the difference with you and take them today, Thursday, November 5.  If you’re not sure what you need to do, check this post.

Market Plan – is your written document ready to go?  Practice your presentation.

Ag Comm – Let’s write the script today!  The Prezi is just about done. I also have sample tests for you to work through today.

Ag Issues – any changes we want to make to the script to make things more conversational and entertaining?  We need to get that ironed out soon so that folks can memorize.

Ag Sales – I’ve got some sample tests for you to work through.  Do you have all the information you need about your products in your sales books?  Study, memorize, etc.  There are 4 teams at districts (so far, I’m expecting a fifth team for sure) that means you have to beat two (or three) of them to advance to State!

Those competing at Jackrabbit Leadership – we leave at 6:45 a.m. on Tuesday, November 10th.  All CDEs will compete in OD except for Ag Issues – Jeans and Black shirts again.  Bring lunch or money or both.

It’s not too soon to start thinking about Spring CDEs.  Do you have a plan?  Which area are you gunning for this year?  I have lots of sample tests etc.  Just ask!  Rules for the Spring CDEs are here.

Here’s a brief synopsis of what happens in each CDE.  Spring CDE’s

Fruit sales are due Wednesday, November 11.  Download the Fruit Sales tabulation spreadsheet and start filling in your customers’ names and sales.

Fruit Sales Tabulation form copy

You’ll be using the tabulation form to calculate everything we need to fill your total order.  I hope that this will streamline our sale calculation process and make our ordering process a bit less stressful.  #fingerscrossed

There you have it, a laundry list of things to accomplish today! Pick something and DO it!
