Posted: 10.31.2010

Two Farm Bureau members have been given scholarships for the Leadership Wisconsin program.

Jason Kollwelter of Fort Atkinson and Howard Roth of Wauzeka both received the money through the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation Foundation.

 

Kollwelter is the Agriculture Program Manager for We Energies where he works with agricultural customers to provide safe, reliable energy and implementing energy efficient practices and equipment. He also assists on his family’s farm with planting, harvesting and milking duties.

Kollwelter has been a Farm Bureau member for over 15 years, and is active with the State Fair Dairy Promotion Board, Cows on the Concourse and Walworth County Dairy Promotions. He has also been active with the Professional Dairy Producers of Wisconsin, 4-H, FFA and Farm Technology Days committees.

 

Roth is a pork producer with a 3,000 sow herd in Crawford County where he incorporates the Pork Quality Assurance Plus program. He currently serves as the Wisconsin Pork Producers Association’s President, and has been active in 4-H, FFA, Alpha Gamma Rho (AGR), and the National Pork Producers Council’s Operation Main Street program.

 

Leadership Wisconsin is a premier leadership development program with a national reputation for producing highly-effective leaders. The two-year program involves eight three-day seminars held in various locations throughout Wisconsin, two one-week seminars (one in Washington, D.C.), and a two-week international seminar. Farm Bureau members selected for Leadership Wisconsin are eligible to apply for scholarships from the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation.
