Two high school seniors have been selected to represent Washington wheat farmers and will serve as the Washington Wheat Ambassadors for the upcoming year. Lacey Miller of Ritzville and Evan Henning of Thornton were selected after an initial written application process that also included submitting a short introductory video.

Miller and Henning will each be giving a speech at the upcoming Washington Association of Wheat Growers Annual Awards Banquet on November 15 during the Tri-State Grain Growers Convention in Portland. The seniors will be judged on the quality of their presentation, and at the conclusion of the banquet, scholarships funded by the Washington Wheat Foundation of $2,500 and $2,000 will be awarded. Miller and Henning will represent Washington wheat farmers at various civic and community events and will also participate in an advocacy trip to Olympia with WAWG leaders.

Lacey is the daughter of Marchelle and Mike Miller. The multi-generational family farm is located outside of Ritzville. Lacey has maintained a high scholastic achievement throughout high school and has been active in numerous school and community activities. In addition to participating in three varsity sports, Lacey is active in FFA, Honor Society, community volunteer projects, and is a running start student at Eastern Washington University. Lacey plans to continue her education at a university to earn a degree in Marketing and Agricultural Communications.

Evan is the son of Steven and Heidi Henning and their multi-generation family farm is near Thornton. Evan has maintained a strong grade point average at Oakesdale High School. He also excels out of the classroom by being very active in school and community activities. His interests include being involved in three varsity sports, FFA, Honor Society, drama club, and band. Evan participates in community service through his various roles. Evan has a passion for metal art and work on the family farm, where he plans to return after furthering his education.
