New Mexico youth public speaking and agri-science contests
For the past six years New Mexico State University - College of Agricultural, Consumer, and Environmental Sciences (NMSU- College of ACES) has collaborated with the major State Fairs in New Mexico to create youth opportunities, with a public speaking, agricultural science fair, and a “flowers and finances” contest. Thanks to sponsorship from AgTrust Farm Credit, contest winners receive scholarships and trophy buckles.
