During the Ag Media Summit several students were honored with some recognition and awards.
The Livestock Publications Council presented the Forrest Bassford Award to Logan Britton, Kansas State University. Logan gave us a very touching emotional thank you in which he mentioned that he doesn’t have a farm background but is passionate about a careen in ag communications. I told him afterward that I have done just that and encouraged him to keep at it.
Sponsoring the award is Alltech and on hand to present the award is Ann Hess, Alltech.
The American Agricultural Editors Association presented the Jim Evans Scholarship to Courtney Leeper, University of Missouri. On hand to present it was Mr. Jim Evans himself! Three other scholarships were also presented.
The scholarships are sponsored by the AAEA Professional Improvement Foundation.
