Haywood Receives Archie Studer Scholarship

Austin Haywood of Hastings, Michigan was chosen as the 2017-18 recipient of the Archie Studer endowed scholarship.

Austin Haywood of Hastings, Michigan was chosen as the 2017-18 recipient of the Archie Studer endowed scholarship through the Michigan Dairy Memorial Scholarship Foundation Inc. at Michigan State University (MSU).  The $4,000 scholarship is named after the late Archie Studer, who owned and operated Kenowa Acres Dairy Farm for more than 35 years.

Haywood, son of Luke and Renee Haywood, is a freshman at Michigan State studying Animal Science.  He received the award based on his academic achievements, involvement in extracurricular activities, and interests in one day pursuing a career in dairy management.

Austin currently works in both the animal systems and cropping systems of Sand Creek Dairy, working with Jersey and Holstein cows, alfalfa, corn, and cheese production.  Austin is very involved in 4-H, where he is serving as the Barry County Dairy Teen Superintendent, and FFA, where he serves as the 2016-17 Michigan FFA State Secretary.  He is also a member of the MSU Dairy Club and MSU Block and Bridle.

After graduating in 2020, Haywood plans to return to work on his family’s dairy farm, Sand Creek Dairy, to eventually manage and operate it.
