Indiana’s Family of Farmers and Indiana Humanities are partnering for the 3rd Annual Ag Essay Contest. Students in grades 4-12 are encouraged to consider the impact of Indiana foods and farmers in their “Our Food, Our Farmers: Nourishing Generations of Hoosiers” essay. Keira Amstutz, president and CEO of Indiana Humanities says, “By participating in this contest, we hope students will think, read, and talk more about Indiana’s rich agricultural history and its future.”
