Hoosier Ag Today (HAT) is encouraging young people to get into the communications field for agriculture.

For the second year, HAT has sponsored the 4H Communications Scholarship award in Indiana. This year’s winner is Katherine Gambill from Vigo County, Indiana. HAT founder and longtime NAFB farm broadcaster Gary Truitt says they chose to sponsor the scholarship program because agriculture needs good communicators to help tell the story of modern food production and of the value of our rural communities.

Hoosier Ag Today was founded in 2006 for the specific purpose of serving the informational needs of the Hoosier agricultural community. HAT currently has 42 radio stations broadcasting its programs.

This week, Gary and his staff are busy with wall-to-wall coverage of the 83rd Annual FFA Convention being held in Indianapolis. Check out full coverage on the HAT CHAT blog!
