The Fresno Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce that nominations for the 2024 Agriculture Awards are officially open. This year’s awards ceremony, scheduled for November 2024 (exact date to be announced), will celebrate outstanding contributions to the region’s agricultural sector.
The awards categories include Agriculturalist of the Year, Agricultural Employee of the Year, and AGvocate of the Year. We’re also thrilled to welcome back Moss Adams as the presenter of the Moss Adams Agribusiness of the Year Award. You can find the nomination criteria and forms on the Fresno Chamber website. Nominations will be accepted until 5:00 PM on Thursday, September 12, 2024.
“These awards have a rich tradition of highlighting the incredible people and businesses that drive our region’s agriculture forward,” said Scott Miller, President & CEO of the Fresno Chamber of Commerce. “From multi-generational family farms to innovative start-ups developing the next big thing in agricultural technology, these awards shine a light on the breadth and depth of our local food industry.”
Last year’s honorees included Elizabeth Hudson of Hudson Farms as Agriculturalist of the Year, John DeGroot and Son for the Moss Adams Agribusiness of the Year, Maribel Cortes of Woolf Farming
