Congratulations to Renee Wilson, who was crowned Maryland Dairy Princess on July 17! Sorry we missed this news Renee, and best wishes promoting dairy!
Wilson, 17, lives on her family’s 350-acre dairy farm in Parkton, where she helps with daily feeding and milking chores.
She is the daughter of Steve and Kelly Wilson and is the fourth generation of the family to work on the farm. It currently has 400 cows, 146 of which are milked. She owns 50 cows that she has shown at the Hereford Junior Farm Fair, Baltimore County 4-H Fair and the Maryland State Fair.
Wilson was named Upper Chesapeake Dairy Princess on May 29 as she competed against three other girls for the regional title. There were a total of six girls vying for the state title.
Wilson is on the honor roll at Hereford High School, where she is also president of the Future Farmers of America club. She helped create that group’s annual Ag Day for the community. She is also president of the Parkton 4-H Club.
