Ella Tretsven wrote an essay for the 2019 GROWMARK essay contest for FFA members. The theme of this year's contest was "What does the future of agriculture look like to you, and what skills will you need to play a part in it?"
Ella Tretsven received a journal for her participation. John Schubbe of Peotone, Illinois, Tyler Tessman of Audubon, Iowa, Taylor Case of Russellville, Missouri, Cori Lee of Marysville, Ohio, and Marie Hamlin of Roberts, Wisconsin, were named state winners of the essay contest. Each state winner receives a $500 award and $300 for their chapter.
This is the 26th year for the program, sponsored by the GROWMARK System and FS member cooperatives, in conjunction with state FFA leaders, to help young people develop their writing skills, learn about current issues in agriculture, and understand the unique role of cooperatives.
