Jenna Siegel is the winner of this year’s Ralph E. Doak Memorial Scholarship. This is the third annual scholarship given by the Buckeye Barrow Boosters to an Ohio resident involved in the swine industry. Doak was a lifetime advocate for the swine industry and founded the Buckeye Barrow Boosters.  Since its inception in 2000, the Buckeye Barrow Boosters has raised more than $500,000 to support Ohio’s junior swine showmen. The monies that the association allocates for the swine barn Sale of Champions are prorated according to the number of barrows shown in each breed division and, in part, have led to the increase in participation in many of the breed shows.

Siegel is a junior at Iowa State University majoring in Agricultural Business. A 12-year exhibitor at the Ohio State Fair, Siegel is more than qualified for this award. “Ralph was very influential in my passion for the industry and I am grateful to have been awarded this honor in his memory,” Siegel said.

Congratulations to Jenna, and best of luck in your future plans.
