Another 15 state high school students have been selected to serve on the newly created Wisconsin Agriculture Youth Council. State Agriculture Secretary Randy Romanski says the purpose of the group is to encourage young people to engage with state government and increase their awareness of Department of Agriculture's interactions with Wisconsin's agriculture industry.
"Congratulations to these exceptional students on their selection to the second Wisconsin Agriculture Youth Council," Romanski said. "Each member brings a great enthusiasm for Wisconsin agriculture to the Council, and I look forward to speaking with them during their sessions."
The students are all members of the 2021-22 graduating class. Each of them will serve a one-year term, receiving a certificate of completion at the end of their service.
The chosen students include: Crystal Anhalt, Manitowoc; Lauren Breunig, Sauk City; Connor Fields, Plain; Kelly Herness, Whitehall; Amy Jentges, Port Washington; Sophie Koehler, Chippewa Falls; Isabella Kraus, Beaver Dam; Katelyn Meinholz, Deforest; Ainsley Noble, Lancaster; Cameron Pokorny, Waupun, Michael Schaal, Burlington; Mary Schrieber, East Troy; Emily Stumpf, Appleton; Rebecca Tank, New London; and Maria Zillges, Larsen.
Council members will attend monthly virtual sessions, hearing presentations and engaging in discussion.
