The Christian County Ag Group has awarded its annual scholarship to a Taylorville High School senior. The group announced Wednesday that 2017 THS graduate Madison Taylor will receive this year’s scholarship.

Sue Davis is the Secretary of the Christian County Ag Group. She says the scholarship is awarded to a graduating high school senior looking to go into an agriculture related major in college, and that the scholarship helps achieve their mission of promoting agriculture in Christian County.

Madison Taylor is the daughter of Brad and Kathy Taylor. Davis says they are proud to give the scholarship to someone as active as Taylor.

Taylor will be presented her 500-dollar scholarship check during next month's Ag Appreciation Luncheon at the Christian County Fair. Taylor will be attending Black Hawk Community College this fall to obtain an Associates Degree, and then possibly attend Western Illinois University.
