The 2018 Farm Credit agriculture scholar class has been announced and included Reed Jostes, a graduate of Maroa-Forsyth High School.

 

Each scholar in the class earns $2,000 from FCI says Marketplace Initiatives Manager for FCI Beth Bolger.

 

 

 

Jostes says his passion for agriculture came at a young age when he would visit his grandmother's house.  He is a member of FFA and will be attending Southern Illinois University in Carbondale this upcoming fall.  But Jostes explains his fall plans could change as he runs for a major candidate position in FFA.

 

 

 

Jostes plans to study agricultural education with plans of teaching high school agriculture and helping grow and shape future generations of agricultural leaders.
