It is with a great deal of sadness that I am sharing with you the news that Lindsay Hill, Farm Journal Media, was killed in a traffic accident this morning. I just received the news from the National Association of Farm Broadcasting. Lindsay was currently serving as the association president. Here is the message from NAFB.
It is with a great deal of sadness that we report the tragic death of NAFB President Lindsay Hill in an auto accident early this morning. According to officials at Farm Journal Media, Lindsay was traveling in Ohio at the time of the accident. Additional details or arrangements are not available at this time. We will do our best to provide those details as soon as they are available.
Please keep Lindsay’s family in your thoughts and prayers on this very sad day.

That’s all the information I have at this time. I will update this post when I get more. Here is a link to the story about the accident from the Dayton, Ohio newspaper.
On a personal note, I have to say that it is really sad to hear of this happening to anyone but maybe even more so when it’s someone so young and full of energy. I was shocked and still am. Already in her career Lindsay had accomplished things that others never do. She will be sorely missed and Cindy’s and my prayers are with her, her family and friends and everyone in the industry impacted by this tragedy.
Post Update:
Services for Lindsay Hill will be Monday from 2-8 p.m., and Tuesday from 12-2 p.m. at Winner’s Harvest Barn in De Graff, Ohio. A celebration of Lindsay’s life will be Tuesday at 2 p.m. at Winner’s. (Thank you to Andy Vance for the details.)
We at the National FFA are deeply saddened to hear this news. Lindsay was a bright spot in agriculture. She will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and many friends.
I can’t even put thoughts and feelings into words. May God hold us all tight as we grieve.
This young women had such a love of Agriculture and we loved her back. She had a smile and a personality that would light up the room. She knew her stuff and was a great Ag Advocate. We will miss her enthusiasm but not near as much as her family will miss this shining star in their lives. This light has not gone out it has only moved to the ultimate level. I am sure Lindsay and EJ are having quite a chat. In the short time she was here she made such an impact on so many lives if we could only impact 1/2 of what this young woman did we could call it a successful life. Many prayers are going to this family as they grieve, May they know that the Agriculture community grieves with them and are asking for strength to get them through the coming days.
