Primghar, Iowa — If you know of someone who’s big in the world of agriculture in O’Brien County, you could nominate them for a special award.
The O’Brien County Agriculture Steering Committee tells us nominations are now open for their 2023 Agriculture Hall of Fame from now until Friday, June 16, 2023. They tell us they established the annual Agriculture Hall of Fame Awards in 2001 to recognize outstanding citizens who make significant contributions to the agricultural community of O’Brien County and to encourage participation in the Ag sector. In 2016, nominations were opened up to businesses that make a difference in the O’Brien County Ag community.
Officials tell us that any person residing in O’Brien County or business located in the county, or engaging in ag-related activity in the county is eligible for the award. They tell us the successful candidate must have demonstrated leadership, stewardship, community service, and service to the agricultural industry.
