Student Contests

Youth Speech Contest

Florida Farm Bureau promotes a clearer understanding of the many aspects of agriculture to our youth. Each year, the Women’s Leadership Committee sponsors a Youth Speech Contest for students between the ages of 14-18 to gain a better understanding and appreciation for agriculture. For more information, contact your local County Farm Bureau or view the 2024 packet here.
