Agriculture 2025: SINK, SCOTT E.
PRESIDENT, VIRGINIA FARM BUREAU FEDERATION, FRANKLIN COUNTY
Virginia Business //September 2, 2025//
The Virginia Farm Bureau Federation has new leadership for the first time in 18 years. During the December 2024 annual meeting, voting delegates picked Sink as the leader of the state’s largest farmers’ advocacy group after Wayne Pryor decided not to seek re-election at the end of his ninth term.
Growing up on a multigenerational farm in Franklin County, Sink bought his first cow at the age of 10.
Today, Sink and his wife, Mendy, operate SES Agricultural Enterprise, which produces beef cattle and hay and provides agricultural services and agritourism opportunities in Franklin, Montgomery and Pulaski counties. The couple, who have two daughters, Mekinsley and Mehailyn, also own Riner Ridge Farm in Montgomery and Hethwood Market in Blacksburg.
Previously, Sink had served as the VFBF’s vice president. He is also past chair of the VFBF Young Farmers Committee and a past president of the Franklin County Farm Bureau.
HOW I DEFINE SUCCESS: The value we bring to helping others in our community, especially our members. When we are there for them and are able to help them through difficult times, then I consider that success.
