The Escambia County Farm Bureau Board of Directors, in collaboration with Escambia County Extension, EscaRosa Young Farmers and Ranchers and the Escambia County Women’s Committee, will hold the 2013 Escambia County Youth Farm Bureau Speech contest on Thursday, August 22, at 4 p.m.

The topic of this year’s speech is “Over the past 500 years, how has technology influenced Florida agriculture?”

The speech time limit is between four and one half to five and one half minutes and must be personally crafted.  Competitors must be at least 14-years old and not over 18-years old on or before September 13, 2013, and must be a resident of Escambia County, Florida, but do not need to be a member of Farm Bureau.  Judges reserve the right to ask questions not to exceed more than three minutes per contestant.  The winner of the county contest will be asked to compete in the district contest. Escambia County Farm Bureau will help with the cost of transportation to the district meeting, and if the Escambia County contestant wins the district, Escambia County Farm Bureau will also help defray part of the cost to attend the state competition.
