Hannah Wine, NJHA Event Chair, is a junior at Virginia Tech, majoring in ag science with minors in international agriculture and animal science. From Marshall, Va., she is the daughter of John and Linda Wine.

Hannah has a 60-head Hereford cow-calf operation, Longshot Farm, that she began nearly 15 years ago. She also raises Australian Red and Blue Heelers. After graduating from prep school in 2006, Hannah took a gap year to exhibit her cattle at the national shows before attending K-State and then Virginia Tech.

She is an active member of the Virginia Tech Block & Bridle Club, Poultry Club and the National Collegiate Scholars. A member of the Virginia Junior Hereford Association for 12 years, Hannah has held various leadership roles. Recently she traveled abroad to Australia, experiencing agriculture at an international level.

As event chair, she will coordinate all JNHE committees. Hannah will also be responsible for serving as a liaison for NJHA members — answering questions and reaching out to members, encouraging them to take advantage of all the opportunities that await them as Hereford enthusiasts. Hannah will be playing an active role in the organization of the 2010 PRIDE Convention that will be in Idaho.
