In 2007, Liz (LeSatz) Lauck was an Agriculture Communications major at the University of Wyoming working hard to get through college when she was honored with an NAFB Foundation Scholarship. “Not only was the money a huge blessing, but my experience at the NAFB convention was so wonderful. The farm broadcasters won me over!” At left, Liz (LeSatz) Lauck with past NAFB President Pam Jahnke at the NAFB annual convention.
Now, almost nine years later Liz is not a farm broadcaster, but her experience with NAFB and the benefit of the scholarship made a lasting impression. Liz said, “I was able to graduate debt-free from college and build a career in agricultural public relations before shifting full-time to work on our 2,000-acre farming operation in Wheatland, WY. My husband, Tyler, and I raise corn, dry beans, malt barley and our daughter, Rozella Mae, who we welcomed Christmas Eve 2015.” As a farm wife and new mom, she’s busy offering support in any way she can to the operation. “Maybe a day is just full of laundry and running lunch to the field, maybe I’m on the tractor, or maybe I’m working on projects through Liz Lauck Public Relations. Either way, I’m able to contribute to our production agriculture business and stay at home to raise our daughter.” She added, “My life may seem distant from NAFB and the great work of its members, but I am a lot farther ahead due to the generosity and commitment the NAFB Foundation shows to students. Your support of a college kid eventually helped a young farm family and for that we are very grateful.” Liz invites you to keep up with their farming adventures at www.farmpaparazzi.com.
