Leonard and Mary Burton Farm Management Award

The Leonard and Mary Burton Farm Management Award was established in 2007 to support outstanding students in Agricultural Sciences at Lakeland College's Vermilion campus. This award recognizes full-time, second-year students who demonstrate excellence across multiple dimensions of agricultural education and professional development. The award seeks well-rounded candidates who exhibit strong farm business management ability and leadership skills. Recipients must show academic achievement along with potential qualities essential to succeed in agriculture, including work ethic, application, initiative, and character. This funding opportunity is designed to encourage and support students who are committed to pursuing careers in agriculture and who have demonstrated both practical management capabilities and leadership potential within their academic program.
