Elizabeth Wilts of the Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunberg KMS FFA Chapter in Minnesota began her SAE in 2011 by renting 10 acres of land to grow a crop of soybeans. In the five years, her production has quadrupled, and she’s developed the skills to coordinate all aspects of the operation: financial planning, record keeping, machinery maintenance and more. Wilts utilizes no-till methods in her soybean production. She is supported by her parents, Gina and Harmon, and her FFA advisor, Christa Williamson. This award is sponsored by Bunge North America.
