This year's winner of the CKNX Radio Farm Advisory Board Bursary is from the Fergus area. Courtney Rogerson is in the Masters program at the University of Guelph's Department of Population Medicine. Her focus is on determining the source of iodine levels in dairy herds.

Rogerson is working with Dairy Farmers of Ontario and a geological survey company to see where soils have high levels of iodine and where there are farms where there are high levels of iodine in the milk.

She says "from there we’re kinda collaborating to see whether those two areas overlap – so farms that are on areas of high iodine in the soil, whether they have high iodine levels in their milk."

The 1 thousand dollar CKNX Radio Farm Advisory Board Bursary is awarded annually to a Midwestern Ontario student enrolled in a post-secondary, agriculture-related program.
