DUBACH, La. (TWILA) — The Louisiana Farm Bureau’s Young Farmers and Ranchers Achievement Award finalists have been announced.
John and Savannah Scarborough are among this year’s finalists, operating a diversified farm that includes livestock, microgreens and composting.
Scarborough Farms uses multi-species rotational grazing and composting as part of its effort to improve the land while producing food for local customers.
The Scarboroughs say their goal is to provide locally grown products while continuing to rejuvenate the land that supports their operation.
The winner of this year’s Young Farmers and Ranchers Achievement Award will receive a $35,000 cash prize and a trip to the American Farm Bureau Convention in January to compete at the national level.
