Meet OSC Scholarship Recipient: Tegan Macy

Annually, the Oregon Seed Council recognizes three exceptional students for its scholarship program. This year, the Oregon Seed Council had 18 students apply and is pleased to announce one of three recipients of this year’s award: Tegan Macy.

MEET TEGAN

Tegan is a senior at the University of Idaho in the fall of 2025. She is majoring in crop science and will receive a minor in animal science. 

She grew up working on her family’s farm, Macy Farms, which produces a variety of specialty crops including seed potatoes, carrot seed, Kentucky bluegrass seed, perennial ryegrass seed, parsley seed, and peppermint for tea leaf. After graduating with her bachelor’s degree, she plans to return to Macy Farms.

In college, she has served as a member of the soil judging team and had the opportunity to compete in seven states, and at the 2025 National Collegiate Soil Judging Competition where the University of Idaho received first place as a team. 

She is also an Ambassador for the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences and served as the treasurer of the Student Idaho Cattle Association last year. During the summers Tegan works on Macy Farms where she irrigates, operates equipment, completes equipment maintenance jobs, and serves as the farm’s main swather operator.

The Oregon Seed Council is pleased to award Tegan with the 2025 Oregon Seed Council Scholarship.
