🎓 Congratulations to our 2026 Warren County Farm Bureau Scholarship Recipient: Ben Brown!
Warren County Farm Bureau is proud to award Ben Brown a $1,000 scholarship for 2026!
A graduate of Norwalk High School, Ben is attending Iowa State University this fall, majoring in Agronomy. He has already gained extensive hands-on experience in agriculture as the owner and operator of BrownTown Farms, a row crop operation where he manages everything from crop planning and planting to harvest, employees and business operations.
Ben has also been active in band, hockey, shooting sports, Student Council, Dance Marathon, 4-H and other activities, while volunteering with Meals from the Heartland, St. John's Catholic Church and as a Lakewood Elementary mentor.
His vision for the future is to continue farming in Central Iowa, expand his operation and develop related businesses such as custom application and agronomy services. He also hopes to use his social media platforms to educate others about modern agriculture and connect people who may not have a direct connection to farming with the realities of life on the farm.
Ben believes agriculture is about stewardship, integrity and leaving the land in better condition for the next generation. He hopes to combine his agronomy education and business skills to create jobs, strengthen rural communities and help Iowa agriculture remain productive and sustainable for generations to come.
Congratulations, Ben! We are proud to invest in your education and your vision for the future of Iowa agriculture!
Stay tuned as we continue highlighting our 2026 Warren County Farm Bureau scholarship recipients in the coming weeks!
