Justin Lillesand Memorial "You Do You" Scholarship

Justin Lillesand was a 2011 high school graduate from a small town in Wisconsin. Being raised on a small farm, he enjoyed agriculture and took part in 4-H and FFA. After high school, he attended Black Hawk East and obtained an associate’s degree in agriculture. He then went on to obtain a 4-year degree in agriculture at Western Illinois University. Justin loved life, worked hard, and would help anyone in their moment of need. He found his passion in the beef cattle industry and began early on to build a network of ag professionals across the nation. He led by example, became a mentor to others and lived life to the fullest. Throughout Justin’s life, he lived by the motto, You Do You. You control your actions. You control your future.
