Vinita FFA member Riley Bingham, the 2018 State Star in Agriscience, has participated in everything from dairy products evaluation to agricultural mechanics design and fabrication, but he found his passion in the scientific process. Bingham’s supervised agricultural experience was rated the best in agriscience among the 794 FFA members who received the State FFA Degree during the 92nd annual State FFA Convention on May 2. Click or tap the PLAYBOX in the window below to watch a short clip of Bingham speaking about his SAE.
The Star winner from the Northeast Area has a passion for structural design and functionality, which he hopes to cultivate after high school by pursuing a degree in architectural engineering at Oklahoma State University. In the meantime, though, he turned his passion into his agriscience project, measuring the structural impact that Oklahoma’s three main environmental hazards has on homes and barns and how to best protect structures from them. In his research, Riley examined how earthquakes, high wind speeds and drastic temperature changes impact buildings in Oklahoma. He then tested different types of structural reinforcements such as hurricane clips and roof sheathing to determine what worked best at minimizing extreme weather’s impact.
