Miss America Fights for Agriculture

Whenever I think of Miss America I immediately think of Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality (That movie always makes me laugh).

However, I am not laughing at all when it comes to this Miss America.

Formerly Miss Nebraska, Teresa Scanlan, has quite a bit to say on production agriculture and instead of reading my blog today, take a look at her essay on why farming is so important. 


Let's hope as Miss America 2011 she can impact consumers across the nation.

"I was Miss Nebraska first. And if a small town girl from the Midwest can make it all the way to Miss America, maybe she can help bring America back to the Midwest."

Sounds to me like she has the perfect mind set!

Her platform is childhood obesity, but she talks about the importance of supporting farmers and agriculture.
