Wisconsin Farm Bureau names Heroes of Hope honoree

Wisconsin Farm Bureau has named Bob Nash as this year’s Heroes of Hope honoree.

Nash recently completed his term as the District 1 Young Farmer and Agriculturist Representative on the Young Farmers and Agriculturalists Committee and works nights and weekends at Golden E Dairy Farm in West Bend while operating heavy equipment during the day for Ozaukee County.

Nash was recognized for his efforts after a fire destroyed a barn, and he found a barn to relocate the cattle and then coordinated the clean-up with heavy equipment operators.

Heroes of Hope, a part of the #FarmNeighborsCare campaign, is focused on shedding light on rural heroes who have helped others through a tough time.

The other finalists for the award are Brenda Statz and  Randy Roecker of Sauk County, the Baraboo FFA Chapter, and Dan Wiese of Brown County.
