Cumberland County Farm Bureau Women recently held an essay contest for county wide 5th grade students as part of the Tennessee Farm Bureau Women’s Leadership Committee’s statewide contest. The contest theme was “Why is Agriculture Important?”
The first-place winner of this year’s contest was Lyla Potter. Placing second was Om Patel and third place went to Ansh Patel. All three winners are students at Stone Elementary School.
Lyla’s winning essay was submitted to the Tennessee Farm Bureau Women’s Leadership Committee’s State Contest.
The Cumberland County FBW appreciate all the students who participated in the contest as well as all the school staff that assisted with the contest.
