As the year is winding down, it is time to take a moment to think back over this past year and recognize those individuals who have gone above and beyond for the ag retail industry.
The Nebraska Agri-Business Association has recognized individuals who make a difference in the fertilizer and crop protection industry for over 30 years. The Awards program honors recipients for their leadership, stewardship and positive values for the industry in Nebraska.
Award winners will be recognized at the Annual Nebraska Agri-Business Expo in Omaha. Please consider nominating someone who is providing leadership in their field, either from your organization or community. We look forward to continuing this long standing tradition that builds bridges between our industry and the public.
A brief description of each category is listed below. Please take a few moments to nominate deserving individuals for the awards outlined. You may complete the form more than once if you have multiple nominations to submit.
Please submit nominees by Nov 30.
