In a testament to dedication and skill, Woodland FFA members achieved a remarkable feat by restoring a 1956 Cub Cadet lawn tractor found abandoned in Capay Valley, near the school. Over the course of two years, FFA member Jaxon Smee spearheaded the restoration efforts. Starting as a pile of rusted parts, the tractor was transformed through sheer determination and hard work.
