The Purpose of the Miss Alabama Agriculture Program is to promote and publicize Alabama Agriculture and the Alabama Farmer. Miss Agriculture serves as the ambassador for agriculture and represents all farm commodities at various functions throughout the year.
The State Miss Alabama Agriculture Contest is held during the Annual Meeting of the Alabama Farmers Federation.
Awards and Opportunities
Miss Alabama Agriculture will receive the use of a new car and a $2,000 scholarship. She will represent the Alabama Farmers Federation at county and state meetings and will serve as an ex-officio member of the State Young Farmers Committee.
The method of selecting a county contestant is left up to each county. Counties may want to hold a county pageant to select the most suitable participant.
In order to compete in the state contest, each applicant must first win a county pageant. To find out information on the county pageant in your area, contact your County Young Farmers Chairman.
