More than 1,000
students and adults took part in the statewide contest, which had "celebrating
a century of Georgia agriculture; a review of its past and my vision for
the future" as its theme.
First, second,
and third place winners in all categories were awarded cash prizes of
$100, $50 and $25, respectively. All winners were presented medals and
certificates from Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture Tommy Irvin. Agriculture
Day honors the contributions of farmers and those in agriculture.
The ceremony
was highlighted by an appearance of Gov. Roy Barnes, who read and signed
a proclamation declaring March 21 as Agriculture Day in Georgia.
