Union County Farm Bureau congratulates the recipient of its 2022 scholarship: Cade Ziegler.
Cade Ziegler is an honors graduate of Fairbanks High School where he was a multi-sport athlete and FFA Chapter president. Outside of school, Cade serves as a Memorial Health student volunteer, is a Le Herron Rising Leader Award recipient and a very active 10-year Watkins Panthers 4-H Club member, including service as a Union County 4-H camp counselor.
Since 2019, Cade has worked as a farmhand at Parkway Farms in Marysville. There he welcomes opportunities to milk the cows, do chores, participate in herd health activities and assist in the fields. For the last year, Cade interned with Custom Builders, LLC.
Cade attends Purdue University and majors in construction management on his path to become a custom home and barn builder.
Congratulations and good luck, Cade!
Labor has always been an issue, mainly because we are a seasonal operation. So that's a challenge finding somebody who only wants to work three months out of a year, sometimes up to six months.
I appreciate the benefit of having a strong voice in my corner. The extras that are included in membership are wonderful, but I'm a member because of the positive impact to my local and state agricultural communities.
I see the value and need to be engaged in the community I live in, to be a part of the decision-making process and to volunteer with organizations that help make our community better.
Farm Bureau involvement has taught me how to grow my professional and leadership experience outside of the workforce and how to do that in a community-centric way.
With not growing up on a farm, I’d say I was a late bloomer to agriculture. I feel so fortunate that I found the agriculture industry. There are so many opportunities for growth.
Knowing that horticulture is under the agriculture umbrella and having Farm Bureau supporting horticulture like it does the rest of ag is very important.
If it wasn't for Farm Bureau, I personally, along with many others, would not have had the opportunity to meet with our representatives face to face in Washington.
