Rural Montezuma girl vying for Little Miss United States Agriculture title

     Miss Alyssa Latcham, 10, daughter of Curtis and Amanda Latcham of rural Montezuma, has been chosen to represent Poweshiek County, Iowa at the 2021 Little Miss United States Agriculture Pageant. 
Alyssa will travel to Maryville, Mo. in December where she will compete on the regional level, the first step to reaching the finals in Orlando, Fla. in June 2022.
     “Alyssa is beyond excited for this opportunity,” said her mom, Amanda. 
    “I’m looking forward to teaching people the importance of agriculture as farmers are important as they feed the world,” Alyssa said.
