The sponsor for one of the National Agricultural Aviation Association/BASF Scholarship winners this year is Waylon Woods, Wood’s Aviation. He’s pictured here (right) with scholarship recipient Matt Kollars. I visited with them during the NAAA convention to find out why Waylon sponsored Matt and what Matt plans to do with his scholarship.

Waylon says that he worked with Matt during the summer and was impressed with his work ethic. He appreciated his work and his help. He wasn’t surprised when he won and he knows the scholarship will help him a lot. With BASF as my sponsor for NAAA convention coverage I had to ask Waylon what he thought about their products and he says that this year he was “100 percent BASF.” I don’t think it gets any better than that.

Matt is planning to use the scholarship to continue his flight instruction since he can use the funds to not only get finished but in a more timely manner than he would have been able to otherwise. He says it “means a ton to me.” Matt says it has been a dream of his to fly and ag is a very exciting part of the industry. He hopes to one day have his own business.
