The 2022 Winner in Vegetable Production is Samantha Anhalt of the Mishicot FFA Chapter. The Vegetable Production Proficiency is sponsored by the Kalscheur Foundation. 

After completing her first horticulture class freshman year, Samantha was inspired to further her hands-on experience by expanding her family’s gardens where she began sowing, maintaining, and harvesting over 30 varieties of vegetables ranging from yellow beans to swiss chard. Samantha’s interest in vegetable production continues to grow as she volunteers to manage the school’s community garden and greenhouse where she applies integrated pest management practices, and transplants, waters, and harvests all vegetables grown.

Samantha Anhalt’s advisor is Jamie Propson.

Second: Allison Loosen, Slinger
