Students honored at Ag Day Local students Bradley Bright and Jessica Bright of Coweta County recently were honored at the Agriculture Day in Georgia ceremony at the state Capitol. Bradley and Jessica won honorable mention for their visual art in the annual Agriculture Day in Georgia contest sponsored by the Georgia Department of Agriculture and Georgia Agriculture in the Classroom Council Inc. More than 1,000 students and adults took part in the statewide contest, which had "celebrating a century of Georgia agriculture; a review of its past and my vision for the future" as its theme. First, second, and third place winners in all categories were awarded cash prizes of $100, $50 and $25, respectively. All winners were presented medals and certificates from Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture Tommy Irvin. Agriculture Day honors the contributions of farmers and those in agriculture. The ceremony was highlighted by an appearance of Gov. Roy Barnes, who read and signed a proclamation declaring March 21 as Agriculture Day in Georgia.
