Stillman IFB Woman in Agriculture award winnerIowa Palo Alto County farmer Ann Stillman has won the Iowa Farm Bureau Woman in Agriculture Award. The yearly contest honors one woman who demonstrates outstanding leadership abilities in agriculture and stands out from her peers in the promotion and education of agriculture. The announcement was made at the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation annual meeting in Des Moines on Dec. 4. Ann and her husband, Philip, raise corn and soybeans on their farm near Emmetsburg. They have four children. Ann believes that lifelong education and agriculture promotion are critical to the preservation of family farms. Her extensive work with the Farm Bureau and 4-H has served that cause. Stillman has volunteered for Farm Bureau in various capacities on the county, state, and national levels. She has served as county president and vice president, state resolutions committee member and a delegate to the American Farm Bureau annual convention. As a 4-H leader, she has served as 4-H Foundation president and as an officer for the Extension Council and county Fair Board. Her work with both organizations has earned her several awards, including the Farm Bureau Membership Builder Award and the 4-H Leadership, Clover and Alumni Award. Stillman's recognition includes a plaque, a $250 cash prize and up to $500 to cover expenses for an Iowa conference for women. 12/15/08 Date: 12/10/08
