The Alabama Farmers Federation’s Young Farmers proved the future of agriculture is in good hands as they competed in statewide events at the 44th Commodity Producers Conference in Mobile July 30.
Ben and Heather Maples of Elkmont in Limestone County beat out 10
competitors in the Excellence in Agriculture contest. As the winner, the
Maples will receive a John Deere zero-turn mower sponsored by Dow
AgroSciences and a computer package from CCS/Valcom Wireless.
Excellence in Agriculture contestants are young people in
agriculture earning no more than half their income from production
agriculture. The competition included an application, 15-minute
presentation and 10-minute question-and-answer session.
