Sauk Valley Area Chamber of Commerce’s Agribusiness Committee recently made contributions to support agriculture education in the Sauk Valley.
The committee presented $500 to the Sterling High School FFA program, $1,000 to the Prophetstown Lyndon Tampico FFA program, and $2,000 to the Whiteside Area Career Center’s Traders Camp.
Through the committee’s annual Steak Fry in the Country, the group raises funds to support local ag students, initiatives, and education in the Sauk Valley. In addition to the program donations, the Agribusiness Committee also awarded scholarships to 11 local students pursuing ag education for the 2023-2024 school year.
