Members of the Boonville Farms Cooperative visited The Farmers’ Museum in Cooperstown, New York to present their donation of $2,550 for the 2021 Junior Livestock Show’s Chobani Agricultural Leader Scholarships Essay Contest. These funds will underwrite the Terra Jackson Award for next five years. The award recognizes the most outstanding essay submission.

The Terra Jackson Scholarship was created to salute a respected committee member who helped establish the essay contest. In honor of Terra Jackson’s commitment to youth in agriculture and the dedication she brought to the committee, a special scholarship of $500 was offered in her memory. Terra was a Chobani employee and a dear friend of the Diary Industry.

The 2021 Junior Livestock Show’s Chobani Agricultural Leader Scholarships essay contest recognizes young agricultural leaders in our region. Each year, youth who are participating in The Farmers’ Museum’s annual Junior Livestock Show are encouraged to participate in the essay contest. Winners for this year’s contest will be announced shortly.
