Austin Daniel Weaver of the Strasburg FFA Chapter in Virginia has a supervised agricultural experience of several components – each circling around the idea that the public should be taught about agriculture. He developed a partnership with eight kindergarten classes to present monthly lessons about agriculture. He facilitated a PALS program for a fifth-grade class. And finally, he worked at Cornell University as a student assistant for the New York Ag in the Classroom program. Weaver is supported by his parents, Kathleen and Reuben, and his FFA advisors, Brian Fisher and Abbi Copp. This award is sponsored by The James F. Lincoln Arc Welding Foundation and Tulsa Welding School.
