SARATOGA COUNTY — The Saratoga County Agricultural Promotion Committee announced the winners of the Sundae on the Farm Agriculture Scholarship. The award was handed out at the Saratoga County Fair during the conclusion of the 4-H Dairy Show. Peter Bardunias, Senior Vice President, Community Advancement for The Capital Region Chamber, and member of the Agricultural Promotion Committee presented the awards. The scholarship is intended to alleviate costs associated with further education endeavors in the agriculture industry. 

Hannah (Lainey) Koval: Lainey grew up on Koval Brothers Dairy Farm in Saratoga County, and whether it was showing her cows at the fair, helping her parents in the barn, promoting local dairy products, or being a part of her local 4-H or FFA program, Lainey was always submerged in agriculture. She attends Cornell University for Agricultural Science with plans to concentrate in Business Management so she may, hopefully, return and work on her family’s dairy farm.

Michael Theobald: Michael came into the world of agriculture later in life through a flower nursery in Saratoga Springs. The owners themselves had an overflowing passion for the nursery business, which watered his own growing love for Agriculture. The experience helped him settle on pursuing an education in agriculture. He is attending SUNY Morrisville with his major in Agricultural Science. 

Blake Wadsworth: Agriculture was the base of some of Blake’s earliest memories. His day-to-day has always revolved around agriculture; from feeding calves to watching his dad milk cows before school in the morning. He is attending Cornell University. When not in school, he spends much of his time working on local dairy farms doing herd work.
