A panel of judges selected Madison Meyer, of Dearborn, and Caleb Simpson, of Bolivar, as 2024 Missouri Farm Bureau (MOFB) Ambassadors during the organization’s 109th annual meeting at the Lake of the Ozarks.
The MOFB Ambassador Program selects a male and female student 17-to-22 years of age to represent agriculture and Farm Bureau for one year. Each Ambassador receives a $2,500 educational scholarship. Throughout 2024, the Ambassadors will represent Farm Bureau during a legislative trip to Washington, D.C., the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia and other events promoting agriculture.
Meyer represents Buchanan County Farm Bureau and is the daughter of John and Tiffany Meyer. The family is the third generation on their family row-crop farm and have been Farm Bureau members as long as Meyer can remember. She has worked on the farm and is currently a sophomore agriculture student at the University of Missouri. She is majoring in plant science and plans to work as an agronomist. While in school, Meyer is working part-time for MU Extension as a crop pathology student assistant. Recently awarded the American FFA Degree, she was Mid-Buchanan High School FFA chapter president her senior year. Now, she is involved in the Collegiate Farm Bureau, UMC College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources Leadership Team and Veritas college ministry.
