Sophie Koehler Wisconsin Agriculture Youth Council

MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin Agriculture Youth Council session in April focused on the free, confidential services offered by the Wisconsin Farm Center. Randy Romanski, Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection secretary, opened the session. He recognized Earth Day and the many contributions of farmers to protect our state’s land and water resources.

Sophie Koehler of Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, is a senior at Chippewa Falls Senior High School. She has had a passion for animals since she was 3 years old, which has led her into her emerging passion for agriculture. She is serving as the FFA president for her school chapter, where she was able to create and lead many service projects. In the fall she plans to attend the University of Wisconsin-River Falls for the animal-science program for pre-veterinary medicine.
