The Kewaunee County Wisconsin Farm Technology Days may have happened six years ago, but its impact continues to benefit local students who are beyond the first half of post-secondary education.  The Executive Committee announced the fifth group of local students who all graduated high school will receive scholarship money from the Second Half Scholarship Fund.  Executive Secretary Aerica Bjurstrom says a total of $6,000 was awarded this year and a total of $60,000 will be awarded over a 10-year period.

Students needed to meet specific requirements to apply, including if they or someone from their immediate family was involved in Kewaunee County Farm Technology Days 2017 as a sponsor, volunteer, or vendor.
