Harwin’s experience in agriculture and ag lending will be a valuable resource for Farm Credit. Now a resident of Roanoke, Harwin isn’t far from his hometown; he grew up on his family’s small beef operation in southern Botetourt County. For the last two years, Harwin served as a loan officer for the USDA Farm Service Agency. Additionally, he has been serving as the market manager of the Botetourt Farmers Market in Daleville since 2019.
Harwin received his Associate Degree in Business Administration in 2016 from New River Community College. In 2018, he graduated from Virginia Tech’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences with a Bachelor’s Degree in Agricultural and Applied Economics.
Throughout high school, Harwin was involved with the Lord Botetourt High School FFA chapter, participating in multiple competitions including Dairy Judging, Parliamentary Procedure, and Farm Business Management. He also participated in Collegiate Young Farmers while in college and is currently an active member of the Botetourt/Alleghany Young Farmers.
“Scott’s experience with agriculture and familiarity with our region makes him a wonderful asset for Farm Credit’s current and future customers. His involvement with the Botetourt Farmers Market keeps him in touch with local growers and what’s happening in their respective fields,” said Regional Sales & Lending Manager Sidney Rabon.
In his spare time, Harwin is an avid sports fan and tries to attend as many home Virginia Tech football and basketball games as he is able. He also enjoys attending games of the Salem Red Sox and Roanoke Rail Yard Dawgs, as well as watching Carolina Hurricanes and Washington Football Team games.
