North Decatur senior earns national ag scholarship

Presented by American Soybean Association

(GREENSBURG, Ind.) -- A 2024 North Decatur graduate has earned a rare agriculture scholarship.


Addie Gauck is the recipient of the Soy Scholarship Award, sponsored by the American Soybean Association and BASF.


The scholarship is a $7,000 award presented to a high school senior who excels in both academic and leadership roles and who plans to pursue a degree in an agriculture-related field at an accredited college or university.


Gauck plans to study agriculture systems management at Purdue University. Her previous agricultural involvement includes numerous awards and leadership roles in 4-H and FFA.


Gauck also owns Addie’s Fresh Pork and Pasture Raised Chicken, a business she started at age 11 that she credits for boosting her confidence and broadening her awareness of working with others.


Gauck says an important lesson her father taught her is to maintain her business and agriculture connections— and she reports clearly seeing the value in these relationships as she plans her future career.


She notes that owning her own business has changed her life by showing her the importance of being responsible and accountable. Gauck says her goal is to someday bring together all the skills she’s learned to improve the agriculture industry and her community.
