Sydney Sanders has been named the recipient of the 2023 Frank B. Sollars Memorial Farm Bureau Scholarship sponsored by the Sollars Family of Fayette County. Sydney will receive her scholarship at the 2023 Fayette County Annual Meeting.
Sydney is the daughter of Dave and Mindy Sanders and is a 2023 Fairfield Local High School graduate. She will be attending Lake Land College on a scholarship as a livestock judging team member with plans to transfer to a senior college her junior year to pursue a degree in animal science. Throughout high school, Sanders was very active, as she was chapter FFA president, a senior captain on the Lady Lions varsity softball team, and the vice president of the National Honor Society. Sanders is currently the vice president of the Ohio Junior Angus Association and president of her 4-H club.
“To me, agriculture is a way of life. Through my family’s cow herd, 4-H and FFA, this industry has developed me into the young professional I am today. It has taught me the meaning of hard work and how to play a valuable role in my community. I have always considered the agriculture community to be home and I have no doubt that it will continue to provide me with opportunities to grow. Agriculture is essential and I am proud to be a part of the industry that fuels the world,” Sanders said.
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.
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
We really appreciate what Farm Bureau has done to get people interested in this line of work and workforce development and getting people interested in this industry.
We work terrifically with the Ashtabula County Farm Bureau, hosting at least one to two outreach town hall events every year to educate new farmers and existing farmers on traditional CAUV and woodlands.
Because we are younger farmers just starting out, Farm Bureau has a lot of good opportunities and resources to help us grow in the future.
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.
