(Louisville, KY – December 5, 2019) Madison Goodlett of Spencer County and Dylan Driskell of Garrard County were awarded top honors in the 2019 Outstanding Farm Bureau Youth contest, which was held during Kentucky Farm Bureau’s (KFB) Annual Meeeting at the Galt House in Louisville.

Goodlett and Driskell were selected from 22 district finalists out of more than 300 youth who competed in county and district contests over the past year. A personal interview and a two-minute prepared speech related to agriculture or Farm Bureau was required for each person. The contestants were then judged by three individuals with backgrounds in youth work and/or agriculture.
