It is time once again to nominate individuals who have enhanced the agriculture industry in Manatee County. Each year Manatee County Farm City Week recognizes two individuals who have made significant contributions to the agriculture community through the Agriculturalist of the Year and Agriculture Hall of Fame awards. These individuals may have provided these contributions through their farm or ranch, representing the agricultural industry, serving as agriculture consultants, agricultural educators, or by being someone who has been involved in the agriculture sector. The Outstanding Agriculturalist must be a current living member of our community and will be honored during the Kiwanis Club of Bradenton Farm City Week Luncheon. Nominees for the Manatee County Ag Hall of Fame may be living or deceased and will be honored at the Farm City Week Hall of Fame Luncheon. Photos of both recipients will be placed in the Manatee County Agricultural Museum and Hall of Fame in Palmetto. Nomination forms and award guidelines may be obtained online at https://adobe.ly/4740Fao or by stopping by the Manatee County Extension Office at 1303 17th St. West, Palmetto, FL. Nominations must be submitted by close of business on August 31, 2023. Farm City Week runs from November 14th through the 22nd.
