We’re incredibly proud of the Barren County students who were named winners in the 2025 Kentucky Department of Agriculture Poster and Essay Contest! Out of 1,001 entries from across the state, 25 students were selected—and six of them are from Barren County! Their artwork will be showcased at the Kentucky State Fair later this year. Congratulations to Lane Staples (HSE), Landon Staples (HSE), Lydia Strode (HSE), Alana Houchens (BCHS), Ann Katherine Wright (BCMS) and Amber Willequer (BCMS). WNKY reporter Lydia Nathan stopped by yesterday to talk with a few of our Kentucky Ag poster contest winners. Check out the story here:
