George Frees of the Cass Career Center in Missouri conducted two experiments which examined the physical, chemical and genetic effects of the application of gibberellic acid on the productivity of agriculturally important commodities from the sugarcane species Saccharum offinarum. Frees’ main ambition was to investigate the effects of gibberellic acid application on ethanol production. He is supported by his parents, Laura and Karl, and his FFA advisors, Jackson Dieckhoff and Marshall Streit. The National FFA Foundation and the National FFA Organization sponsor this proficiency.
He shares more about his project with Broadcast Desk Intern, Lydia Johnson.
