MANSFIELD, Ohio – While farm productivity, science and technology have seen great strides in recent decades, the farm bureau’s ability to communicate about farming to the general public has not made similar advances. To help address this communication gap to the public, Crawford and Richland County Farm Bureau have announced the 2015 Ag Literacy Challenge.
The contest is open for any individuals or groups (4H, FFA, Collegiate Organizations, etc) in Ohio that think they have the next big idea to connect consumers and farmers.
A one-page application describing the display, game or interactive activity is all that is needed to participate in the challenge. The winning design will be used at county fairs, field days, 5k runs, and other outreach events.
The 10 best selected applications will receive $25, and the winner will be awarded $300–plus the opportunity to construct their design and bring their vision to life.
A link to the rules and application form is available here. All entries must be submitted electronically by May 11.
