COTTON
Ginners Marketplace COTTON FARMING IS THE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE GINNING INDUSTRY.
Academic Investment Helps Develop Future Leaders Assisting students interested in pursuing agriculture is critical to the long-term viability of the industry. They are enthusiastic about learning new skills and eager to share their vision about what needs to be accomplished in the future. Providing these young adults an opportunity to grow and succeed is one of the first steps in developing future leaders in agriculture. For this reason, Cotton Farming is pleased to continue its support of the Texas Cotton Ginners’ Association scholarship program that benefits Texas Tech University students. Each year, the magazine, which has co-sponsored the TCGA Trade Show for about 25 years, contributes a portion of revenue from the sale of ads in the TCGA printed program and ticket sales for the Exhibitor’s Luncheon. In 2019, Cotton Farming raised $4,150 to help bolster the scholarship fund. “As any parent who has a kid in college knows, it is a significant financial burden,” says Tony Williams, TCGA executive vice president. “The Texas Cotton Ginners’ Association scholarship program, in partnership with Cotton Farming magazine,
helps ease the financial burden and is a wise investment in our future leaders.” Jane Piercy, Texas Tech’s director of development and external relations, says agriculture students appreciate any kind of help given to them while pursuing their degrees. “Without assistance from the Texas Cotton Ginners’ Association, the dream of a degree in higher education can be unrealistic for many of our students,” she says. “We are grateful that the association sees the value of scholarships for our students.” Here are the recipients of the 2020 TCGA scholarships: ¢ John Barnwell, Lubbock, sophomore, economics. ¢ Grace Blackwell, Checotah, Oklahoma, senior, economics. ¢ Brittney Couch, Little Elm, Texas, senior, agribusiness. ¢ Monica Haugen, Colton, Washington, senior, agricultural communications. ¢ Bailey Hufnagle, Canyon, Texas, senior, agricultural and applied economics. ¢ Madison Rogers, Lubbock, junior, agribusiness. ¢ Carlie Shae Witte, Clint, Texas, senior, plant and soil science.
