Hays-based Lang Diesel announced Tuesday that five deserving students of Buhler High School have been awarded $1,000 scholarships for the 2014-15 FFA scholarship year.

As an approved national FFA scholarship sponsor and in cooperation with AGCO, LDI awarded scholarships to Carly Butts, Heather Chermak, David Dukart, Dakota Isaacson and Lacy Pitts.

The scholarship selection considered FFA involvement, work experience, community service, leadership skills and academic records. Supervised agricultural experience programs and future goals were considered in the selection process as well.

A proud supporter of the National FFA Organization and the National FFA Collegiate Scholarship Program, AGCO and AGCO Finance sponsored 18 additional scholarships to outstanding FFA members in 2014-15. The company participates in the annual National FFA Convention & Expo. In addition, many AGCO employees, dealers and customers credit FFA with helping them develop their skills and lifelong interest in agriculture.
