Two Missouri women will have a chance to earn a $1,000 donation for an agriculture-related cause of their choice through a new contest offered by the Missouri State Fair.
The Missouri Woman in Agriculture Contest will award two women, one age 18 to 30 and another 31 or older, for their contributions to agriculture, leadership roles and endeavors to continue the agriculture industry. The winners will be chosen from a panel of judges made of up officials from the Department of Agriculture, Missouri State Fair staff and the fair commission.
