Three students from Monroe County will each receive a $500 scholarship to help with expenses for their upcoming college year, thanks to Monroe County Farm Bureau. From the applications submitted, Korah Anderson of Lewisville, Alayna Christy of Woodsfield, and Madison Huck of Lewisville, where selected as the 2022 scholarship recipients.
Korah is the daughter of Eric and Darcie Anderson. She participated in 4-H for 12 years and during her time she served as a Health Officer, Secretary, and Vice President of her 4-H club. Korah also participated in Noble and Monroe County Junior Fair Boards, and Monroe County Junior Fair Board Royalty Committee Chair. Korah is attending the University of Findlay and majoring in Animal Science with a pre-veterinary medicine emphasis.
“With my goal to become a veterinarian, it is likely that I will work daily with local farmers working to manage their family-owned herds, rather than large commercial operations. To ensure that I have a job in the future, it is imperative that local farmers receive the business and support that they need to stay in operation.”
She is thankful for the numerous opportunities the agricultural industry has provided for her and she looks forward in giving back to the community as a veterinarian. Korah hopes to one day work in a large or mixed animal practice.
Alayna is the daughter of Vaughn and Pam Christy. She participated in 4-H for 13 years and during her time she served as Recreation Officer, Health and Safety Officer, Treasurer and club President. Alayna is also attending University of Findlay with a major in Animal Science/Pre-Vet.
“My goal after completing my education is to return to Monroe County to open my own veterinary clinic. This clinic will be for both large and small animals, and will provide care to the animals of not only Monroe, but surrounding counties that also lack a vet. I plan to have old school hospitality, with modern techniques to serve my clients and patients.”
She is currently a member of the beef cattle show team, Pre-Vet club, member and historian of Mortar Board Collegiate National Honors Society and secretary for Collegiate FFA. Alayna’s goal in to obtain her doctorate in veterinary medicine with a focus in mixed animal medicine, with a specialty in bovine theriogenology.
Madison is the daughter of Chris and Christina Huck. She participated in 4-H for 14 years and during her time she served as Reporter, Secretary, and Treasurer of her 4-H club. Madison is majoring in Animal Science and minoring in Business Management and Business Administration at the University of Findlay.
“Working with animals has always been a passion of mine because of my deep roots in 4-H and living on a farm. With a degree in animal science and minoring in marking, I am hopeful to have a career with agricultural marketing along with food safety. I have had the opportunity to complete two internships at a meat processing facility and in the fall of 2021, I was able to become HACCP certified.”
She has had the opportunity to expand her knowledge and interests with beef cattle since becoming an animal science supervisor at the University of Findlay Animal Science Farm. Madison’s long term goal is to find a career while also expanding her interests and knowledge.
Monroe County Farm Bureau congratulates these three fine students on their accomplishments and wishes all the best to our area graduates in their future endeavors.

My first recommendation in your journey is to start out with a local farming friend or mentor along with joining an organization like Ohio Farm Bureau.
We’re just so thankful for the Farm Bureau and the foundation for helping put this together. And of course, the Boyert family for the vision they had with this grant. It’s jumping us forward 10 years. It’s unbelievable.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
It wasn’t until I joined the Wilmington College Collegiate Farm Bureau that I truly saw how my passion could translate into leadership, advocacy and a career.
The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.
So many of the issues that OFBF and its members are advocating for are important to all Ohioans. I look at OFBF as an agricultural watchdog advocating for farmers and rural communities across Ohio.
