The scholarships are created according to Dean Carlson’s idea.
He was a person who had an Iowa State Farmer degree and was always trying to help improve the status in which FFA members in northwest Iowa were.
Nowadays, the FFA Foundation is growing the next generation of leaders who will change the world of agriculture.
