Dear Mr. Dasher & Kroger,
Thank you so much for your generosity and commitment to future farmers! Here in Kentucky, we awarded our scholarship to our Star Farmer, Lauren Schmidt, a goat farmer from the Livingston Central FFA chapter in West KY. She is attending the University of Kentucky. Our state convention is each June in Lexington. We would welcome your attendance sometime!
Warm Thanks,
