Effingham County High FFA member Chris Graham recently won the Peach County Invitational commercial lawn mower safety and operations contest.

The event was held at Peach County High School in Fort. Valley on Sept. 6.  

The commercial lawn mower safety and operations contest allows students to demonstrate the skills necessary to safely and efficiently operate a commercial lawn mower. Participants in the event take a written exam and answer problem solving questions related to lawn mower servicing, safe operation, care and maintenance. Participants also drive a commercial lawn mower and are tested on lawn mower operations.
