The Kemptville College Alumni recognize two students who are in their second year, at an accredited college studying in an agricultural or food-related program.
Ethan Booker from Fournier has been awarded one of the $1000.00 scholarships for 2024. He is presently completing his second year at Lakeland College in Alberta. Before heading to college, Ethan was involved with the farm’s beef cattle, different aspects of cover cropping the soil, and no-till farming.
In the community, he was involved with leadership work with primary children at Metropolitan Bible Church, Scouts Canada and 4-H cooking and crop clubs led by Pat and Gordon Wilson.
A highlight for Ethan, when at Lakeland, was to be on the Dean’s Honour Roll as he studied Crop Technology. He plans to return to farm alongside his parents, Allen and Margit Booker on their grain and cattle family farm. As well as continuing cropping, expanding the grazing for their purebred beef cattle, there may even be some Boer goats on the Booker farm. Congratulations Ethan!
