Nice Job, Ian

Sophomore, Ian Hoffman’s research into public perceptions of the Lake Erie algae blooms earns him fourth place in the nation during the National FFA Agriscience Fair in Indianapolis. Hoffman, a Hilltop High School sophomore, had won first place in the national Agriscience fair last year with a project on earthworms and was hoping for a repeat of that success. He got help from Anne Marie Michaels, the outreach and education coordinator for the Williams Soil and Water Conservation District.
