Since both of her parents earned degrees in agricultural education, there was a good chance that the passion would rub off on Ashley Carol Zimmerman of the Spencer FFA Chapter in Wisconsin. She has always enjoyed assisting in the classroom, doing everything from developing educational materials to creating curriculum to teach elementary school students about the importance of agriculture. Zimmerman, who plans on becoming an agricultural education instructor and FFA advisor, has also coached FFA Creed speaking and prepared public speaking. She is supported by her parents, Cheryl and Mark, who is also her FFA advisor. This award is sponsored by The James F. Lincoln Arc Welding Foundation and Tulsa Welding School.
