Fair Agriculture Dept. Seeking Home Grown Produce

The Fayette County Fair is actively seeking entries for the 2025 Agriculture Department Exhibit.

The Agriculture Department is open to growers of all ages. All products exhibited must be grown or prepared during the current year. All products must have been grown in Fayette County. Commercial sizes that would bring the highest market price, or sizes that are more desirable for home consumption, will be the basis upon which all products will be judged.

Entries will be accepted and checked-in at the Creative Arts Building located on the Fayette County Fair Grounds on Wednesday, August 27, from 4 - 7 p.m.

All entries will remain on display during the entire fair. Entries will be released from 10 a.m. - noon on Monday September 1. All entries will receive a 1st, 2nd or 3rd place prize ribbon. A grand and reserve champion will be selected in several categories including: farm products, garden and fruit products, pecans and honey. An overall Best of Show will be selected and will receive a trophy graciously donated by the Fayette County Farm Bureau. Items that can be entered include but are not limited to: pumpkins, various types of melons, various field crops, grain sorghum, various garden vegetables, various fruits, honey, bees wax and pecans.

There are no entry fees and all entries and winners will receive prize money generously donated by the Fayette County Farm Bureau and the Fayette County Crop Committee. If you have any question about the agriculture department you can call Glen Roscher after 6 p.m. at (979) 247-4155 or (979) 559-0166 or email gr@powerscreentx. com.
