Carly Dreher fits many descriptions. Honor student. Cheerleader. And a gifted public speaker.

But at heart, she’s a farm girl.

“I don’t know what it is about ag, if it’s the passion and the people, or all the different relationships,” Dreher said. “I just know there’s nothing else I’d rather be doing.”

The Iola High School senior announced this month she will attend Butler Community College in the fall, joining the program’s renowned livestock judging team.

“It was a perfect fit for me,” said Dreher, who cited the opportunity to work under Butler livestock judging coach Taylor Frank, whom she described as one of the top coaches in the nation, at any level.
