Why is Agriculture Important? That is the question that the Cumberland County Farm Bureau Women’s Committee is asking local fifth grade students. The Committee’s annual county-wide essay contest is open to all Cumberland County fifth grade students. The purpose of the essay contest is to promote agriculture education.
The contest deadline is February 22, 2023, and the contest rules have been distributed to all the local elementary schools as well as the local private schools. Homeschool fifth graders are also eligible to participate. Prizes will be awarded to first, second and third place. For contest rules or more information, contact FBW Chairman Lynn Carey at 931-484-5442, Ext. 101.
