A Canton student was one of six youth statewide to win the 2020 AgYouth Leadership Award from Carolina Farm Credit. 

Jadyn Denty won this honor intended to recognize students who excel in the classroom and community as leaders in their FFA chapters and 4-H clubs. The AgYouth Leadership Program is open to any junior or senior student in good standing at school and in an FFA or 4-H program. 

Award recipients were chosen by the AgYouth Leadership Committee from among more than 80 applicants. Winners will be eligible for scholarships awarded in May, with applications for the 2021 program opening in July.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
