Trumbull County Farm Bureau would like to honor our 2025 scholarship recipients.

Vada Allen receives $1,000. Allen is the daughter of James and Denise Allen of Leavittsburg. She is a 2025 graduate of LaBrae High School and is undecided on where she will be attending college. She was very active in clubs and in sports during high school. Allen enjoys learning about the agriculture industry.

Sydney Morrison receives $500. Morrison is the daughter of John and Megan Morrison of Williamsfield. She is a 2024 graduate of Pymatuning Valley High School and is currently attending Ohio State ATI at CFAES Wooster majoring in agricultural science education. She is a member of Agricultural Communicators, Educators and Leaders of Tomorrow as well as Hoof n’ Hide Club. Morrison would like to educate the youth on how broad the agriculture industry is. 

John Shaw III receives $250. Shaw is the son of John Jr. and Susan Shaw of Cortland. He is a 2024 graduate of Mathews High School and is currently attending Youngstown State University majoring in chemistry. He served as the executive representative, award chairperson, house co-manager, recruitment co-chair, and secretary for SAE Fraternity. Shaw is unsure of where his education will go.

Congratulations to you all and the best of luck in your 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.

Bringing the farm back to life
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.

Giving farmers a voice
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.
