Arias M. Brownback was raised on his family's farm in western Perry County and from an early age expressed an interest in farming. He attended his first PASA conference at the age of 18, and seeing fellow farmers dedicated to sustainable practices was a great inspiration to Arias. In his honor, PASA has established the Arias M. Brownback Memorial Scholarship Fund. Formed in 2001, this memorial fund is intended to inspire and aid young farmers to reach their full potential. This endowment is designed to help youth and other developing farmers attend the Farming for the Future Conference each year. The scholarship expresses PASA's commitment to providing educational opportunities for those wishing to learn sustainable agricultural techniques and methods regardless of financial position. Please consider donating to this worthy cause by indicating your financial gift on the membership and contribution form; your gift will be acknowledged to the family.
