We’re getting closer to the 76th Alice in Dairyland Finals! Six top candidates will get together in Walworth County on May 11-13 for their final interview process before the selection is made for the next Alice in Dairyland. Jackie Rosenbush is one of the finalists.
Rosenbush of Sarona, Wisconsin started her own flock of sheep in 2012 alongside her sister and parents. Today, her flock has grown to 100 head of purebred sheep. She graduates this month from UW-River Falls with honors and a Bachelor of Science degree in Agricultural Education. Rosenbush has been very involved in both 4-H and FFA, serving as a Wisconsin FFA State Officer in 2020-2021. Recently, she served as the 2022 Wisconsin Fairest of the Fairs, traveling around the state to promote the opportunities fairs provide and connect consumers with producers through agricultural education.
Rosenbush tells Mid-West Farm Report that her drive to run for Alice in Dairyland stems from her passion for agricultural education.
Since March, the six candidates participated in a rigorous interview process that will allow them to showcase the communications and public relations skills required to be Alice in Dairyland. Although only one of the top candidates ultimately will be selected as the next Alice in Dairyland, the personal growth experienced by all the candidates as a result of the process will carry far into their future careers.
The Alice in Dairyland Finals are scheduled for May 11-13 in Walworth County. The three-day process includes agribusiness tours, media interviews, an impromptu question and answer session, individual interviews, and candidate presentations. The selection of the 76th Alice in Dairyland will be announced during the program at the conclusion of the finals on May 13. The 76th Alice in Dairyland will begin her term on July 5.
