Williamson wins Young Farmer Discussion Meet

Cody Williamson of Water Valley won the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation Young Farmer Discussion Meet recently at the organization’s 91st Annual Meeting in Jackson.

The Young Farmer Discussion Meet is a round table discussion of a predetermined topic rather than a debate. The participants' responsibility is to exchange ideas and information in an effort to solve a problem. It gives the contestants valuable experience in communicating in a small group setting.
