Putnam County Joe Littiken, and Deena Hasselgrave of Cloverdale Middle School were named winners in the Lugar essay contest
County winners of the 2009-2010 Dick Lugar/Indiana Farm Bureau/Farm Bureau Insurance Companies Agricultural Essay Contest have been named.
Eighth grade students throughout Indiana wrote essays focusing on this year’s theme, “Farmers Looking at a Bright Future.” Students considered the growing global demand for food and energy resources and then creatively described what farm life may look like for future generations. They also described how Hoosier farmers can lead the industry in satisfying the growing demands and adapting to the changing landscape.
A farmer and former small businessman, Lugar created the essay contest as a way to teach Hoosier youth about the state’s agricultural heritage.
County winners will now compete at the district level. Ten district winners will be invited to attend the Indiana Farm Bureau Spring Conference, March 12-13 in Indianapolis, where they will be recognized for their achievements. State winners will be named at the spring conference.
