A RESOLUTION to honor the members of the Cocke County 4-H Livestock Judging Team for their outstanding performance at The Darby.
While the resolution does not change existing state laws, it serves to highlight the significance of youth engagement in agricultural education and the benefits of participation in structured programs like 4-H. By formally honoring the team, SJR1193 reinforces the value placed on agricultural education and the development of skills among young Tennesseans. The resolution fosters a sense of pride within the community of Cocke County, encouraging continued support for youth programs and initiatives that promote agricultural literacy and leadership.
Senate Joint Resolution 1193 (SJR1193) is a resolution that recognizes and honors the achievements of the members of the Cocke County 4-H Livestock Judging Team for their outstanding performance at 'The Darby' Livestock Judging Contest in Calhoun, Georgia. The resolution showcases the dedication and success of these young individuals within Tennessee's agricultural sector, emphasizing their role as emerging leaders. The team, composed of Halie Franklin, Raven South, Sabrina Maples, and Maggie Snapp, stood out not only as a collective unit, receiving praise as the third high overall junior team, but also as individuals, with several team members earning top marks in various livestock categories.
Though SJR1193 does not present contentious issues or controversies typically associated with legislative bills, it does reflect the broader theme of agricultural recognition within state discussions. Support for such resolutions varies, with advocates highlighting the importance of agricultural education for youth development, while potential criticisms may arise concerning the allocation of state resources towards recognition rather than direct funding for these programs. However, the resolution itself stands as a unifying recognition of achievement rather than a source of division.
