2nd Annual Youth Sporting Clays Open

Story & Photography by Tony Centonze Cross Creek Clays in Palymra was recently the site of a youth shoot led by the folks at Farm Bureau Insurance of Tennessee.

Tennessee Farm Bureau’s Associate Director of Membership, Mark Turner talked about the people involved and the purpose of the shoot.

“We have four partners TN Farm Bureau Federation, Farm Credit MidAmerica, Rural 1st, and TN Farmers Co-op,” Turner said. “This is to raise awareness. We do three big shoots across the state, called Shooting Hunger, in East, West, and Middle Tennessee.

“We wanted something philanthropic that production agriculture could do to help those in need, and nothing better fit that mold than feeding the hungry. We’ve been able to raise over 2 million meals to feed hungry Tennesseans so far.

“This teaches kids about the situation that exists with hunger in our state. Hungry folks may not be just the homeless guy you see, it may be the kid sitting next to you in the classroom whose parent lost a job, and now has to choose between keeping the lights on or buying food. These events really raise awareness.”
