Farm News: Sellen Tops Discussion Meet

comments

Posted: 12.06.2010

A first time entrant in the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federations Discussion Meet competition is on his way to Atlanta for the American Farm Bureau Federation compeitition!

Troy Sellen of Oconto Falls was selected winner of the 2010 Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation Young from a strong field of contestants.

Sellen told Pam Jahnke that his perspective on production agriculture has changed a lot since he was a high school student in Oconto Falls.  Today, the 26 year old share responsibilities on his families dairy - and feels that his involvement in Farm Bureau is just one way to give back to the industry he loves.

The Discussion Meet contest is a panel discussion in which young members are judged on their ability to express their ideas and opinions and reach a solution on current issues affecting agriculture.  

Sellen graduated in 2006 from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls with a degree in dairy science, with a management emphasis. He is an active partner with his parents, Jeff and Brenda Sellen, at the family’s Valley Line Dairy near Oconto Falls. The farm has 650 acres of alfalfa and corn, and 300 Holstein cows.
 
He is involved in Farm Bureau’s Young Farmer & Agriculturist program, FFA Alumni and is a member of the Oconto Falls Fire Department.
 
Dodge Truck provided Sellen with a $500 cash award, Midwest Stihl awarded a chainsaw and Rural Mutual Insurance provided a free financial plan. Troy will be the guest of the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation at next year’s Young Farmer & Agriculturist Conference in Wisconsin Dells, and a special guest at the annual meeting of GROWMARK, Inc. in Chicago this August.
