MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. The
Cargill Foundation will sponsor
$l,OOO scholarships for 250 high
school seniors from U.S. farm
families for the ninth year this
spring.
The Cargill Scholarship Prog
ram for Rural America is open to
all high school seniors who will
graduate in the spring. The seniors
must come from families that
derive at least half of their income
from farming. Scholarship candi
dates must enroll full-time next
fall at an accredited two- or four
year college, university or
vocational-technical school.
“The program has helped to
honor academic achievement
among rural students,” said Bill
Pearce, president of the Cargill
Foundation. “It’s an endeavor that
has received an enthusiastic recep
tion in rural communities. We are
committed to this scholarship
program.”
The Cargill Foundation estab
lished the program in 1986 to rec
ognize and encourage academic
achievement, accomplishment,
and talent among rural youth.
Thus far, the Cargill Foundation
has presented 1,503 awards for a
total of $1.75 million.
The national FFA selects the
scholarship winners, although
applicants do not have to be mem
bers of FFA. The organization
bases its selections on academic
record, leadership, extracurricular
accomplishments, and financial

650 other volunteers and profes

at Rally ’93, America’s largest
land conservation conference.
Sponsored by the Land Trust

Mont
During the conference, Hopk
ins, executive director of die Con
servancy, and Orth, director of
land projects, had an opportunity
to tour land protection projects in
Montana and Wyomissing, attend
workshops and training sessions
that build skills needed in land

from across the country. Orth
described the Rally as “inspiring.”
Jean Hocker, president of the

ADC Meets Farmers’ Needs
More Than $129 Million in Extra Payments
"At Atlantic Dairy Cooperative, our mission
is to maximize returns to members. In the past
six years, we returned more than $129 million
to members in equity payments, over-order
premiums and quality bonuses. That’s an
average of $36,600 per member. And these
extra dollars are continuing at the rate of $1.7
million a month.
"When non-members ask me why they
should belong to Atlantic Dairy Cooperative,
I am happy to report that we are financially
healthy, strong in membership and growing in
sales. ADC is the region’s largest and most
fiscally-sound cooperative, with a guaranteed
market and outstanding benefits.
"More dairy farmers joined us last year than at any time in the
past decade. If you are not an ADC shipper and are worried about
your own milk market, then you should talk to the cooperative that
is facing the future with confidence.”
