## Resource

Katie Laleman from the Henry County Farm Bureau joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to highlight key safety and scholarship updates for April. With Distracted Driving Awareness Month underway, Lalleman urges drivers to put phones away, especially as farm equipment returns to rural roads. April is also National Safe Digging Month; residents are reminded to call 811 or visit Illinois1call.com before any digging project to ensure safety and compliance with state law. Farm Bureau Foundation scholarships totaling $61,000 have been awarded, with additional opportunities open for veterinary and rural nurse practitioner students. Details and contacts for programs are available through the Henry County Farm Bureau.
