Oakwood Bank is proud to be a platinum sponsor of the 2025 Winona County Dairy Showcase, an event that celebrates the hardworking farm families and future leaders who keep our region's rich agricultural traditions alive.

As a community bank rooted in rural values, Oakwood Bank has always understood the vital role that dairy farming plays in our local economy and way of life. Many of our team members grew up on farms themselves, so we know firsthand the dedication, resilience, and innovation it takes to succeed in agriculture today.

The Winona County Dairy Showcase brings together youth exhibitors, local producers, and community members to highlight the importance of the dairy industry - not only in Winona County but across Minnesota and Wisconsin. From youth dairy competitions to educational activities and family-friendly fun, the showcase highlights the people and practices that help nourish our communities.

As a platinum sponsor of the event for the several years, Oakwood Bank is investing in the future of farming by supporting 4-H and FFA youth, local producers, and community engagement. It's just one more way we live out our mission of strengthening the rural communities we call home.

"Supporting agriculture isn't just part of our business - it's part of who we are," said William DeBruyckere, President & CEO of Oakwood Bank. "We're honored to support the Winona County Dairy Showcase and the incredible young people who represent the future of dairy farming."
