2017 Outstanding LEAD Alum

Tom and Linda Schwartz

I am Ken Boswell, Chairman of the selection committee for this year’s Outstanding Alumni.  Our committee had a difficult time as we had so many deserving alums to choose from, however, as I read the list of items Tom Schwarz has been involved in, you can clearly see he is, has been, and will be a dedicated leader for all issues dealing with agriculture, water, and community.  Tom and his wife Linda (also a LEAD alum) have their organic farming operation in rural Bertrand NE.  Tom has won multiple awards and is well-respected as an ag leader throughout our state.  Let me give you an overview of the projects, committees and awards Tom has been involved with:
