Newton, IL, USA / WIKK 103.5 FM The Eagle | Classic Rock Mar 17, 2021 7:58 AM (SPRINGFIELD) Congratulations to an area student who last week finished strong during the American Farm Bureau Federation’s Collegiate Discussion Meet. It was over the course of three days that Taylor Hartke of Teutopolis discussed topics impacting agriculture, such as big data and international trade, plus her third and final round discussion on broadband infrastructure. Although the junior at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, majoring in agricultural communications with a minor in agribusiness economics, did not advance to the final four competitors, the Effingham County native did finish among to top sixteen.
