Ashley Loerke of the Weyauwega-Fremont FFA is a Wisconsin Star in Agricultural Placement finalist.

The Star in Agricultural Placement award is given to students that are working in a variety of job opportunities in the agricultural industry.

Ashley started in the cattle industry at a very young age, growing up on her family’s hobby beef farm. This experience increased her passion for agriculture. Additionally, Ashley had an in-born fondness to strengthen her Ag Education SAE. Ashley has had the opportunity to plan, develop, and present many agricultural education programs to people of all ages. Ashley says she loves teaching others about anything revolving around agriculture because most students don’t grow up learning about agriculture.

In the future, Ashley plans to continue her education at UW-Oshkosh majoring in Pediatric Nursing.

Ashley’s parents are Keith and Rebecca Loehrke. Her advisors are Sandra Dykes and Connie Peterson.
