Born and raised on a farm in Iowa, Dave was a farm boy his
entire life. He grew up helping with everything from tilling, combining,
planting corn and beans, to raising and showing livestock. He carried on this
love into his adult years and enjoyed watching his boys get involved in
agriculture as well as fueling his passion and knowledge into his professional
career.
Dave Fevold had a great passion for custom application. He was always putting his best foot forward to make sure growers got what they needed and applied in a timely fashion. Dave was always looking for better ways to increase efficiency in the application world for our farmer-owners. He had a great understanding and passion for operating equipment.
Dave embodied #TheLandusWay and worked to make his community a welcoming place to all. To honor Dave’s life, work, and dedication to the rural communities across the state, Landus is proud to award four (4), one-year scholarships in the amount of $1,000 in the name of Dave Fevold. Recipients must be entering or currently enrolled in an agriculture program at the accredited post-secondary institution of their choice, with plans to pursue a career in agriculture, with an preferred interest in Custom Application. Along with the scholarship, there will be an optional internship at Landus with the opportunity to develop Custom Applicator skills and otheroperational knowledge.
Dave fought a courageous battle against cancer and this scholarship is a way for us to honor his memory & dedication to the application profession. It is a privilege for Landus to provide a scholarship in Dave’s name to encourage others to pursue a career in Custom Application, which was such a passion of his.
The recipients will be selected by a committee that will include representatives from Dave’s family.
