When Western Ranch Supply (WRS) announced the selection of their Future Generation Leader of the Month award winners, Wylee Simenson from Chinook was among those honored for the month of February. The son of Tomi and Justin Simenson and a sophomore at Chinook High School, Simenson learned of his selection on March 10. According to a WRS spokesperson, the award intends to showcase the youth in communities across Montana that raise the bar for all of us and have a great impact on their communities.
The awarding documents described Simenson as "an extraordinary young man who is heavily involved in his community in many different aspects. From having a role in starting the community garden to helping host resident birthday parties at Sweet Memorial Nursing Home, he is always ready to lend a helping hand. Not only is Wylee stepping up and making a difference in his community, but he is also leaving his mark on the youth. Wylee uses his passion for agriculture and the show industry to give back to his community. He spends his summers hosting weekly beef and lamb showmanship and fitting clinics which he has expanded to surrounding counties. Wylee's leadership shines through his involvement in both 4-H and FFA. He currently serves as the Chinook FFA Chapter's Reporter and as President of the Valley Clovers 4-H Club."
Passionate about his cattle herd and performing in the show ring, Simenson hopes to gain a name for himself in the Angus industry, He currently serves as an ambassador for the Junior Angus Association.
To foster Simenson's dream in agriculture, the WRS gifted him with $500.00 to advance his success by saying, "It is Western Ranch Supply's privilege to help young agriculturalists who will be the next generation leaders in agriculture."
In search of the next generation's leaders, WRS collaborates with Northern Ag Broadcasting to identify youth who work hard on and off the ranch. According to award criteria, these youth not only perform community service but take on leadership roles.
