Jefferson County FTD Awards Grants for Local Projects
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 07/07/2020

A group of leaders from the 2019 Wisconsin Farm Technology Days show in Jefferson County are disbursing some of the event's profits in the form of grants to help local community organizations. The committee has awarded $69,000 in funds during the past week to clubs that applied for financial support.

"There were many commendable proposals that required careful consideration," said County Extension Agent LaVern Georgson. "Total requests were nearly twice the amount of money available for distribution, however some of the applications were more closely aligned with the grant guidelines."

Applications were evaluated on individual merit and ranked based on community impact, need, project scope, populations benefited, funding partnerships, countywide representation, and project timeline.

The winning recipients include: Jefferson County 4C's Milk Fund, Jefferson County 4-H Dairy Youth, Jefferson County 4th Grade Farm Tour, Jefferson County Ag in the Classroom, Jefferson County Agri-Business Club, Jefferson High School Agriculture Department, Johnson Creek FFA, Lake Mills FFA Alumni, Lake Mills FFA, Oconomowoc FFA Alumni, Rock Lake Troopers 4-H Club, Schurz Green Tigers Garden Club, South Side Eagles 4-H Club, Watertown Agri-Business Club, Watertown Public Library and Wisconsin Milking Shorthorn Breeders Association.

In addition, the group will award over $50,000 in scholarships to high school seniors over the next five years.
