Breidyn Flinner– Breidyn is the son of Shannon and Jessica Flinner of Shreve and is currently studying agronomy at The Ohio State University with an anticipated graduation date of Spring 2027.

When asked about his career goals Breidyn said, “Following school, I want to be able to find a job in the agronomy industry and gain experience and build a network of people that I can fall back on in times of need. I want to work in the industry long enough to support a sustainable level of farm growth at home, and eventually farming full time is what I would like to do in the future.” Good luck, Breidyn!
