(SEDALIA, Mo.) – The 2014 Missouri State Fair announced Tammy Bartholomew of Archie received the contest title of Missouri Woman in Agriculture. She will receive a $1,000 cash donation from Monsanto, for a non-profit organization of her choice.
Tammy Bartholomew, the winner of the 31 year old and over age division, is a retired agriculture education teacher and FFA advisor, and has served as the first female President of the Missouri Vocational Agriculture Teachers Association. She has been actively involved in several other agriculture-related groups including the National and Missouri Cattlemen’s Associations, and American and Missouri Angus Associations. She and her husband, Steve, and daughters Hannah Bartholomew and Rachel Kagay and her husband Bryant, raise registered Angus cattle.
Mrs. Bartholomew has been active in the Missouri State Fair for many years, as an agriculture educator, Cass County Farm Family representative and as an exhibitor. The Missouri FFA Leadership Fund will be the agriculture-related beneficiary of the $1,000 donation sponsored by Monsanto.
The State Fair will further emphasize women’s roles in the industry in a pictorial exhibit of women involved in agriculture, on display again this year Aug.7-17 on the lawn of the Woman’s Building.
