This year, we ride in memory of Ashley Austin, who lost her life to an impaired driver on December 19th, 2023. Ashley will be forever remembered as a beloved agriculture education teacher at Canton-Galva High School. Growing up on a farm fostered her passion for agriculture, leading her to start the first FFA program for USD 419. Her dedication to her students will have long-lasting effects on the present and future generations. Ashley is greatly loved and deeply missed by her family, friends, students, and her dog Rowan.
