The SCFB Young Farmer and Rancher program sponsors an annual Discussion Meet Contest that gives participants an opportunity to analyze agricultural problems and suggest solutions.

The contest is an activity designed to build critical thinking skills in young farmers. Participants enhance their discussion skills, develop a keen understanding of important agricultural issues, and explore how groups can solve problems by building coalitions, sharing knowledge, and reaching a consensus.

The Discussion Meet will be held on Friday evening, December 5, 2008 at the Embassy Suites Hotel at Kingston Plantation in Myrtle Beach in conjunction with the SCFB Annual Meeting.

Each Discussion Meet participant will receive a cash award and a complimentary hotel stay for Friday night.

The state winner will receive $500 cash, a John Deere Gator 4x2, and an expense paid trip to San Antonio, Texas to compete in the 2009 AFBF Discussion Meet.

All contestants will be winners!
