Over the years, he has raised chickens, goats, cattle, and sheep, while also showing livestock and competing in Livestock Judging. He has been active in 4-H for nine years and participated in both high school FFA and football. This fall, he will attend Kirkwood Community College to major in Agricultural Business.
Tierney Micah Riedemann, ADM -- I enjoyed Scouting, earning my Eagle in 2023, band, golf, wrestling, and spending time with my family and friends. Advice for younger kids is remember high school is only around 700 days of your life there are so many more days that come after. Also do the things that bring you joy, if it’s clubs or sports, find your joy. My plans after high school is to attend The University of Northern Iowa to major in Electrical Engineering Technology. I am excited to get up to Cedar Falls and start this next chapter in my life.
Ellis Smith, ADM. In my free time I enjoy reading, writing, hanging out with loved ones, and listening to music. Next year I plan on attending the University of Iowa to major in Health Studies on either the pre-PA or pre-med track. As of right now, my career path is focused on becoming a physician or PA, specifically within oncology or women’s health. I'm sure life will throw me countless curve balls, but I have confidence in the Lord and His plans for my future!
Lauryn Troster, ADM — Next year, I plan to attend Iowa State University and study business.
