Awesome Genetics is pleased to announce they will be awarding two scholarship
pigs to a 4-H and a FFA member designated for a summer fair. Two scholarship
hogs will be awarded, each a $300 value, to the members who answers one of
the following essay topics best:
1. Describe in detail how 4-H or FFA has shaped your life. Share your
experiences, good or bad, and how they have impacted the type of
individual you have become. If you are a first year member, describe how
an extra-curricular activity has positively impacted your life.
2. Explain a current significant issue the agriculture industry is facing right
now. Be sure to address causes or the onset of the issue, how it effects
agriculture as a whole, and describe possible solutions or alternative if
they exist. Bonus points will be given to issues present within the swine
industry.
All essays should be typed or neatly handwritten and be 2-3 pages long at
MINIMUM. Please include information about yourself (include age and grade),
contact information, and the fair or show you would be exhibiting at. All entries

DISCLOSURE:
All applicants must be actively involved in 4-H or FFA, a member in good
standing of the age 9-19, and they must be able to exhibit the animal at their
local fair or show. Nothing else will be included with the award, except the pig at
no cost. Proper sale documentation will need to be filled out by the member and
their guardian if they are under the age of 18. Such paperwork may include taxwrite-off documents for individuals who own and/or operate Awesome Genetics.
Awesome Genetics does not guarantee the age, weight, color, breed, or gender
of the said pig. The pig will be in good health when selected, but once the pig
leaves farm property Awesome Genetics will not and cannot be held responsible
for the health, cost, care and well-being of the animal. No bred and fed
documents will be given out. By submitting an essay, the applicant agrees to all
said terms listed on this page, must sign this page in agreement and send it with
the essay, and if they are awarded the animal, they hereby agree they could
provide proper care to the animal once in their possession. If the awardee
already placed a deposit on a pig, they can either purchase another pig or use
the amount of deposit towards a higher priced pig. For example, if the awardee
placed a $100 deposit, they may receive a $400 pig and receive a $300
scholarship credit, or purchase an additional pig with the $100 credit. If the
applicant is under the age of 18 years old, a legal guardian must sign this in
agreement as well.
Because we are active leaders in the Mission Trails 4-H Club, we will not
consider members showing pig projects under our club this year. Alexis Scollard
will evaluate all submissions. Selection will be based on the quality of the essay
based on the age and/or grade of the member. Selection cannot be disputed. If
the awardee declines the offer, a runner-up will be selected.
