Michaela Greathouse of rural Albion recently advanced to the Sweet 16 at the American Farm Bureau Federation’s National Discussion Meet in San Antonio, Texas. She was representing the Illinois Farm Bureau on behalf of the Edwards County Farm Bureau.
The discussion meet is an exchange of ideas related to agricultural issues. Contestants discuss solutions to the issues with four to five other contestants. The competition is evaluated on an exchange of ideas and information on a pre-determined topic. Participants build basic discussion skills, develop a keen understanding of important agricultural issues, and explore how groups can pool knowledge to reach consensus and solve problems.
Greathouse lives in rural Albion, along with her husband Charlton and four children. The family owns and operates Greathouse Grazing Acres Market in Albion.
