Wisconsin Farm Bureau’s Ag in the Classroom program sponsors an annual culinary contest at the Wisconsin State Fair. Winners from the August 8 contest have been announced.

There were 11 entries in this year’s competition.
Elaine Mason of Oconomowoc won first place and $100 for her WI-Sconnie Easy Cordon “No Moo” Soup. Linda Gottlieb of Port Washington placed second and earned $75 for her Wisconsin Garden Potato Soup. Rachel Roszina of Franklin won third prize and $50 for her soup entry. Cindy Paul of Menomonee Falls took fourth place and won $25 for her Wis’conne Soup.
Farm Bureau’s Ag in the Classroom program provides teachers and students K-12 with an understanding of how their food is produced. The program seeks to work within existing curricula to provide basic information on our nation’s largest industry: agriculture.
