Crawford County Farm Bureau is pleased to announce the recipients for the Crawford County Farm Bureau Scholarship:
Sophia Beck, a Crawford County Farm Bureau member, is an undergraduate student at the University of Northwestern Ohio where she is studying agribusiness management. In high school she was involved in 4-H and raised dairy beef feeders and dairy heifers. She grew up helping her grandpa with planting and harvesting on the family farm. Upon graduation from her program she plans to become an agricultural loan officer and return to her family’s operation.
Addison Lust, a recent graduate of Wynford High School, was involved in FFA, 4-H, National Honor Society, Student Council, Interact Club, OH-Pigs, and the Ohio BEST Program. In the fall she plans to attend Kansas State University majoring in animal sciences. She plans to pursue a career in animal science and one day return to the family farm to operate it with her father and grandfather.
A maximum of two $500 scholarships were available to support the further education of Crawford County students. Congratulations to these recipients; the Crawford County Farm Bureau wishes you both the best of luck this fall!
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.
