In Sonny’s honor, we invest in the future of agriculture, the strength of family farms, and the generations yet to come.

Sonny understood that farming was more than a livelihood. It was a tradition built on hard work, dedication, perseverance, and love for the land. He was part of a legacy passed down through generations, and through his life and work, he helped ensure that legacy would continue.

This scholarship honors Sonny’s memory by supporting students from the local farming community who aspire to pursue an education and career in agriculture. Special consideration may be given to students who demonstrate a commitment to family farming, agricultural education, and preserving the traditions that sustain rural communities.

Through this scholarship, Sonny’s legacy will live on in the dreams of young people who are willing to work hard, follow their passion, and help cultivate the future of agriculture.

Although Sonny’s time on this earth has ended, the impact of his life will continue to grow. Every student who receives this scholarship will represent another seed planted in the future—a reminder that a life devoted to family, hard work, and the land can leave a legacy that lasts for generations.

His roots were planted in the soil, but his greatest legacy will forever be the lives he touched. 

Applicants must upload one letter of recommendation as a PDF or image.
