In its fifth year, the scholarship provides cash and in-kind support worth up to $10,000 over a 12-month period.
Open to young people aged 18 to 30, the scholarship honours the late Peter Westblade, a Lockhart sheep producer passionate about breeding profitable sheep, and a supporter of young people interested in agriculture.
The strength of the candidates was so strong in 2015 that joint winners, Casey Annetts and Jayden Harris, were announced from a field of 29 finalists.
The 2016 recipient will receive mentoring from industry leaders, involvement in the industry’s largest commercial genetic trial, practical training, travel opportunities, resource books, and the opportunity to develop wider networks of key industry contacts.
