The Golden Owl Award®, sponsored by Nationwide and FCS Financial, recognizes Missouri’s agricultural educators for their tremendous contributions to helping the next generation of agricultural leaders who will change the world. We are happy to announce that seven of these advisors have been selected as finalists, and will each win $500.
