Labette County FFA Member Competes in FFA Discussion Meet Contest
April 03, 2023
Tanner Templeton recently competed in the Southeast Kansas Discussion Meet Contest.
Individually, Templeton placed 2nd . With the 2nd place finish, he qualified for the state
competition, which will be held at Kansas State University in May.
The Discussion Meet contest is sponsored by the Kansas Farm Bureau. Students prepare for the
contest by researching five different agricultural topics. The competition is run much like a
panel, with each student giving an opening and closing statement, with a 15-minute discussion
in between. Students are judged based on their knowledge of the topic, treatment of
competitors, and ability to find solutions to the issues of the topic.
