Farm News: Brossard Marting - Excellence In Ag Winner

comments

Posted: 12.06.2010

Wisconsin will be well represented in Atlanta this January with the slate of winners announced Sunday in Wisconsin Dells.  A relatively new category to the convention is the "Excellence in Agriculture" competition - that allows anyone in agriculture or agribusiness to compete based on leadership and community involvement.

Sunday, Andrea Brossard-Martin, 29, of Dodge county was named the "Excellence in Agriculture" winner.

Brossard-Martin is the Producer Communication Specialist at the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board (WMMB). In addition, she farms with her parents Dennis and Carol Brossard, and brother, Anthony, at the family’s 150-cow, 650-acre farm near Beaver Dam. She milks the herd every evening after her commute home from her job with WMMB in Madison.

 

In the past three years, she has been very involved in Farm Bureau. She is a graduate of the Farm Bureau Institute, is involved in Farm Bureau’s Young Farmer and Agriculturist Program, and was one of four finalists in the Discussion Meet Contest. 

 

 

Brossard-Martin attended the Farm and Industry Short Course at UW-Madison, then went on to complete a double major at UW-Madison in Dairy Science and Agricultural Journalism. She continues to be active on campus through teaching an Ag Business Communication class for the Farm and Industry Short Course.

As the state winner - Brossard-Martin received a plaque and
a $250 FS Fast Stop gift card from GROWMARK, Inc. and will be a guest at its annual meeting in Chicago in August.  Dodge Truck provided a $500 cash award.
