TCF awards scholarship to Wisconsin student

University of Wisconsin-Madison student Jack Jones received a scholarship from The Chicago Farmers. A junior at the university, Jack is majoring in Biological Systems Engineering with an emphasis in machinery systems.

Jack is originally from Stevens Point, Wisconsin, and attended high school at Stevens Point Area Senior High (SPASH). Stevens Point’s deep agricultural roots as well as Jack’s natural interest in problem solving and a knack for math and science led him to pursue Biological Systems Engineering at U-Madison. Jack said the ability to solve complex problems in the tight-knit and time-honored agricultural community is his impetus to work hard in school and pursue a career within an agro-related business.

He also is a chapter chair with the student chapter of the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE). When not helping the chapter organize events for the BSE Department, Jack said he is working in the UW Meat and Muscle Science Laboratory’s small butchery to produce a wide variety of meat products. At other times, he can be found with the UW Cycling and Nordic Ski clubs.
