During Wisconsin Farm Bureau’s FFA Farm Forum in Rothschild last week, student members attended career-based workshops including: ‘Broadcast Bootcamp’ with Stephanie Hoff. During the workshop, students learned about the Mid-West Farm Report Radio Network, a career in broadcasting, and Stephanie’s path to radio.
The second half of the presentation taught students how to write and record a simple radio package 30 seconds in length that included a hook, an introduction, a story, and a close. The FFA members then had the option of submitting their work to the Mid-West Farm Report.
Below are some of the team’s favorites of more than 40 submissions.
