· Josie Montoney, of Lancaster, Ohio

· Garrett Stanfield, of Manchester, Ohio

The other college student recipients are as follows:

· Mary Buehler, of Anna, Ohio

The students will be recognized at OAC’s annual Ohio Agricultural Hall of Fame Awards Program on Aug. 5 at the Ohio State Fair in the new Cardinal Building. As part of the award, the scholarship recipients will also receive a one-year complimentary membership in the council.
