Montana Seed Show entertains

After three days of competitions, displays and various cooking contests, the 66th Annual Montana Seed Show wrapped up Saturday.

During the final day of the Seed Show, a banquet was held in Harlem High School's main gym.

Paul Rasmussen, chairman of the Seed Show, thanked all who participated in this year's event.

"If it wasn't for everybody that's in this room and in the community for helping for 66 years, this thing would have died a long time ago," he said.

Winners of the Seed Show competitions were then announced and the placing items, including breads, pies and art were auctioned off by Bob Sivertsen.

Jerry Carroll, farmer and comedian of North Carolina, performed at the banquet.

Carroll performs at various agricultural events across the country and this was his first time performing at the Seed Show.

"These are my people," he said.

Carroll ended the event with motivational parting words for the audience.

"Every one of you matters - big time," he said. "Everybody in this room, if you're a farmer, or somehow know the deal of farming, then I am firmly convinced you have been born with dirt in your DNA. You can't pull someone out of a city and say, 'I'm going to make you a farmer.' I don't care how much you train them, how much you pay them - that's a special gift."
