Minnesota Player with Heart: Sidney Erickson

Brownfield Ag News

Sidney Erickson was nominated as a Beck’s Player with Heart for her commitment and passion on and off the court and course. What Sidney loves most about high school sports is that they give her beneficial life skills and have taught her to work hard with teammates and develop connections. She has had the opportunity to learn something new every day, just like in class. Sidney is involved in basketball, Close-Up, choir, FFA, Minnesota Honor Society, yearbook, and webmaster. For Close-Up, she is fundraising money to go to Washington D.C. and New York. This allows her to get to take a trip to learn about the government and economy. Sidney stays active outside of her school activities, which include church, Polk County 4-H, state-level 4-H, and the family farm. When Sidney thinks of the word agriculture, she thinks of everything in the world. If there was no agriculture in the world, there would be nothing. On her farm, she learns and works together with her family as a team to feed, care, and manage their livestock. She loves expressing her passion for the agriculture and livestock industry. Sidney plans to attend either North Dakota State University or Kansas State University after high school. She is planning to pursue agriculture business and animal science. Although unsure of her career, she is leaning towards becoming an agriculture teacher to promote agriculture to kids who may not realize how much farmers and ranchers do. After college, she would like to find a stable job and live on a big beef farm to keep her passion for cattle farm going.
