T. Jeffrey Boese Memorial Fund
The T. Jeffrey Boese Memorial Fund has been established following the death of T. Jeffrey Boese on December 11, 2002. Jeff served as the President of Indiana Grain and Executive Secretary for the Feed Assn., Indiana Plant Food and Ag Chemicals Assn., and Indiana Seed Trade Assn. for eighteen years.
