Alice Allen Brant: The Learner
Hadley Beechinor, Beta Theta/Idaho
Agricultural Economics & Animal Science
Growing up on her family’s farm, Hadley developed a passion for agriculture. That passion led her to pursue a career in the agriculture industry, specifically commodity trading and hedging within livestock production. Recently awarded Outstanding Junior of the Year by the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS), it will come as no surprise that she is the director of recruitment for the CALS ambassador team and has been selected not just once, but three times, to represent her classmates at National Agriculture Future of America Leaders’ Conference. She is currently an undergraduate research fellow completing her own research funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) analyzing the impact of the avian influenza on egg prices. Hadley has proudly served her chapter as academic development director and vice president finance (VPF), tackling challenges like budget cuts and helping members achieve academic goals. Hadley cites Theta as pushing her to reach her highest potential in everything she does.
