3 THINGS TO KNOW! Oklahoma Farm Bureau will again be sponsoring this year s plaques and trophies. There will be four divisions. Jr. Division for 4-H & FFA Jr. 4-H 13 and under by 1/1/18 Jr. FFA 10th grade and under as of Fall 18 Sr. Division for 4-H & FFA Sr. 4-H 14 and over by 1/1/18 Sr. FFA 11th and 12th grade and under as of Fall 18 Trophies will be presented to the first through third place teams in each division each day. Plaques will be presented to the top five individuals in each division each day. Team sweepstakes trophies will be awarded to the junior and senior FFA teams. Plaques will be given to the top two individuals in each division for sweepstakes. OSU ANSI Big 3 Field Days method for calculating overall team sweepstakes will be determined by simply adding each team s daily total (minus the low drop from each day). A team competing at the Big 3 Field Days is required to have all competing members from the same school FFA chapter to compete in both Junior and Senior FFA divsions. A team competing at the Big 3 FIeld Days is required to have all competing members from the same county 4-H program to compete in both Junior and Senior 4-H divisions. The Big 3 Field Days contest is open to all states, but regardless of state orientation or state program national 4-H and FFA team guidelines, to compete at the Big 3 event, all teams must abide by the above listed same county and chapter guidelines. And, all 4-H and FFA contestants are required to be bonafide members of the programs they are representing. A $500 scholarship will be awarded to the senior sweepstakes winner in both of the 4-H and FFA divisions. The scholarship will be funded by Farm Credit in Enid. We will pull cards from contestants who talk during the contest. Teams must remain the same throughout the three days to be considered for the sweepstakes award. Switching team members from one team to another will automatically eliminate the team from the sweepstakes competition. *Students are considered eligible to judge through the summer following their high school graduation as a continuation of their FFA or 4-H membership.
