Focus on FFA

The Carteret County Farm Bureau commissioned artwork by local artists Grace Bell and Heather Harris to present to East Carteret High School in Beaufort, NC on Awards Night in memory of four FFA students lost in a plane crash in February 2022. Presenting the memorial is CCFB Board Directors Mike Temple and Trey Rivenbark. Also pictured is artist Heather Harris, CCFB Beaufort agency manager Joyce Matthews, and ECHS principal Jay Westbrook. The artwork is part of a three-part donation to the ECHS FFA Club, consisting of FFA competition T-shirts and a skeet thrower for training.

The creation and presentation of this memorial was a particularly meaningful project for Temple, who passed away on July 22, 2022, shortly after this presentation was made. CCFB wishes to honor Temple’s memory and commend his service to Farm Bureau.
