Missouri State Fair investing in the next generation
The Missouri State Fair Commission’s new vision statement describes the fair “as an agricultural classroom offering Missouri producers and agricultural leaders opportunities to exhibit current practices and new technology and to provide a showcase of high-quality livestock, agricultural products, and industrial displays.”
Chairman Dr. Jack Magruder of Kirksville, tells Brownfield the State Fair Commission kept youth in mind when determining its core values.
“One of those core values is providing opportunities for youth in agriculture that will enable them to become the finest leaders in the world in the agricultural industry.”
“Whether you are involved in agriculture or a consumer of food,” Magruder said, “there is something for you to learn at the Missouri State Fair.’
Youth participants in the opening day ceremonies for 112th Missouri State Fair included Cole Edwards, President of the Missouri FFA Association and Trent Ludwig, President of the state 4-H Council, together representing more than 126,000 youth members.
The 112th Missouri State Fair kicked off today, August 7, in Sedalia. It continues through August 17.
