Sav-A-Caf wants to honor an agriculture leader in your community
Milk Products, maker of Sav-A-Caf products, is excited to introduce the 2018 Sav-A-Caf Youth Impact Award. This award will recognize two leaders who encourage learning and a passion for agriculture in their communities’ youth.
Milk Products is expanding the award in 2018 because of the quality candidates who applied in 2017.
“We knew before we accepted applications that local leaders were working hard to help youth learn about and prepare for careers in agriculture,” says Stefanie Fieck, house brands manager for Milk Products. “But once the applications started coming in, we saw first-hand how creative people are with the resources they have and how much they can accomplish with our support.”
The winner of the first Sav-A-Caf Youth Impact Award was Monica Gahan, animal science pathway teacher and FFA advisor at Vincent High School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Gahan started an FFA program at the inner-city high school, giving students the opportunity to work with show animals, manage a business selling produce and learn about agriculture science.
