“The Ohio Agricultural Council is pleased to provide scholarships to help students further their education. These students have demonstrated exceptional passion for agriculture, and we look forward to the experience they’ll bring to our industry,” said Hinda Mitchell, OAC president. “The future of food production and farming is bright, and we congratulate these promising young leaders on being selected to receive scholarships for the 2018-19 school year.”

The students were recognized at OAC’s 53rd annual Ohio Agricultural Hall of Fame Awards Program on Aug. 3 at the Ohio State Fair.
