The recent Murray State University FFA Field Day had several ties to Princeton and Caldwell County.
Many of the former Caldwell County students who have continued their education in the agriculture department at Murray State were active in working in the contest during the day. They served as group leaders, timekeepers, guides, judges and keeping records as the high school students participated in their various contests. WPKY was able to catch up with 3 of the now Murray State students and asked them to give an update on their college careers.
