Fladager Receives NFU Scholarship

In recognition of her commitment to agriculture and community, Montana Farmers Union member Tammi Fladager has received a $1,500 scholarship from the National Farmers Union Foundation.

Each year NFUF proudly supports the next generation of agricultural professionals by awarding several scholarships to students in various fields of study who are attending accredited two- or four-year colleges, universities or technical schools. These students demonstrate academic excellence and a strong commitment to their communities. 

“MFU is supportive of the work Tammi is doing to help introduce children and their parents to family farms and agriculture,” MFU President Walter Schweitzer said. “Her children’s books are informative, and kids enjoy having the books read to them and checking out the pictures. These books also help to educate whoever is reading the book to their kids. We are proud of our member Tammi and the work she is doing, and appreciate NFU honoring her with Stanley Moore Scholarship.”

“To secure a bright future for our organization, our communities and American agriculture, we must ensure that young people have the resources they need to become tomorrow’s leaders,” said NFU President Rob Larew. “Our commitment to community and support for family farmers and ranchers drives us to support these bright minds as they pursue their education. NFU is proud to invest in the future by helping these young individuals achieve their educational goals.” 

Fladager – an MFU member who ranches near Peerless and writes children’s books about agriculture through her company, The Happy Ranch Wife – received one of three $1,500 Stanley Moore Scholarships. This scholarship commemorates Stanley Moore, a long-time Farmers Union member and visionary leader who served as NFU Vice President and chairman of the NFU Insurance Companies board. The other recipients of this scholarship are Rain Vasey of Delaware are Cheyanne Lindgren of North Dakota.
