Lora Howell from Danville won $25,000 worth of precision equipment for her farming operation from Ag Leader Technology.
With the help of Evan Watson with Precision Agri Services, Inc., Howell created a video to share her story and participate in the national contest. The video of her farm to got her into the top three and Ag Leader selected the winner and announced the results in early August.
?In case you don?t know us and our story, my dad passed away a few years back and when most people told my mom to downsize, she said, ?I can do this,?? said Linsey Howell, Lora?s daughter. ?Today, my mom and 14-year-old brother Justin, are successfully farming 500 acres and running livestock all while showing sheep competitively across the country!?
She was the only Ohio contestant that made the top three and Ohio voters supported her until the July 20 deadline. Lora is a fourth generation farmer who manages the Farm Service Agency office out of Millersburg while maintaining 500 acre operation of corn, soybean, wheat, hay along with raising cattle, sheep, and goats.
