“We offer these scholarships at a local level to help kids right here at home,” Lamb County Farm Bureau President Ricky Yantis said. “Trade school, college and university educations can be expensive. Scholarships are one way we invest in the future of Texas agriculture.”
“These students were selected based on their knowledge of and appreciation for the advocacy of the Texas Farm Bureau organization Yantis said. “We are proud to support local students in helping them achieve their dreams of furthering their education.
