Wisconsin Player with Heart: Ashton Brusveen
Ashton Brusveen was nominated as a Beck’s Player with Heart for his commitment and passion on and off the field and court. What he loves most about high school sports is how it is a great way to challenge himself, stay active, and bond with teammates. He loves the thrill of competition whether win or lose. Extracurricular activities have been a major part of his high school experience. Through the many different meetings, contests, and games, he has developed strong leadership, communication, and teamwork skills that will serve him well in the future. Ashton competes in basketball, football, and track and field. He is involved with the National Honor Society as the vice president, Cambria-Friesland Forensics, Student Council as the president, and Future Business Leaders of America. Ashton is also heavily involved in his community. He has volunteered at many activities including the Wisconsin Agricultural Youth Council, Youth Leadership Board Adams Columbia Electric Cooperative, NHS Red Cross blood drives, FFA & Hilltopper Football Corn Carnival. He also participated in the Student Council highway cleanup, Brie Shed Educational Day, spring cleanup for local communities, Columbia County FFA breakfast, 4H June Dairy Days breakfast, and set up the Dump Run. Growing up on a farm, Ashton has gained hands-on experience in grain handling, crop marketing, and customer relations by working alongside his grandfather and father. As a third-generation farmer, his passion for grain farming stems from the opportunities and work ethic his grandparents instilled in him. These experiences have shown him the importance of hard work, problem-solving, and building relationships in agriculture. His community service experience has made a big impact on life skills, but it has also shown him the importance of being a role model for younger members. Over the past four years, Ashton has built and grown his business, Seed Clean, where he purchases, cleans, and resells bulk seed for cover crops. After graduating high school, he plans to continue expanding his business while attending UW-Platteville for agribusiness with an emphasis on commodity and price analysis to prepare for a career in grain production or agricultural sales.
