Four Iowa State University students will each receive a $2,500
scholarship from Eric and Nicole Lang in Brooklyn, Iowa.
Each scholarship is awarded in honour of a person who has been a leader in Iowa milk or registered livestock production or has offered significant service to the Iowa dairy industry.
This year’s honorees are Jerry Koss, Epworth, Iowa, Greg Lyon,
Clarence, Iowa, Rhonda Guy, Newton, Iowa, and Brenda Dilly,
Montour, Iowa.
Mr. Koss and Mr. Lyon were successful dairy cattle breeders who
participated in breed activities. Ms. Guy served for many years at the Iowa State Fair Dairy Show, the last ten as Superintendent. Ms. Dilly has been involved in the family owned Edgebrook dairy herd, and has been the DHIA field technician serving the Lang herd, among others, for nearly 30 years.
The awards will be presented at the ISU Dairy Science Banquet on March 6 in Ames, Iowa. This is the third year that Eric and Nicole Lang have provided funding for these awards.
