The Snake River Sugarbeet Growers Association has named Samantha Parrott, a former University of Idaho College of Agricultural and Life Sciences employee, as its new executive director. Parrott brings over a decade of fundraising and relationship-building experience to the new role. During her time as the director of development with the university, she raised over $9 million for priorities for the college, including $3 million to expand the Parma Research and Extension Center. Growing up in Rigby, Parrott said she found her love of agriculture by being involved in FFA and by hearing stories about her grandparents’ farm in eastern Idaho. She received her Bachelor of Science in agribusiness and Master of Science in adult, organizational learning and leadership degrees from the University of Idaho.
