Speech topic: Agriculture or Tourism? Which is really Montana’s cash crop? What does the Montana Agriculture Industry need to do to remain competitive and sustainable?
How can we work with the tourism industry to ensure a future for both? Consider the economic impact of each industry in the state. What does the future look like for each of these industries?
Cash prizes: first place = $400, second = $300, third = $200, fourth = $100 and fifth = $50.
