Louisville, KY (November 30, 2017) – Union County student, Trevor Thomas, was among the 12 students selected from across the state to display their agriculture science projects at this week’s Kentucky Farm Bureau (KFB) annual meeting in Louisville.
Trevor displayed his science project as part of the KFB annual meeting tradeshow. His project, “Soil Erosion… ,The Good, Bad, and Gone,” explored different soil erosion rates.
He was awarded $125.00 and a certificate of recognition for his participation at the state level.
