Nineteen Wyoming women were honored for their contributions to the state’s agriculture with Heart of Agriculture awards during a special program Wednesday, Aug. 12, at the Wyoming State Fair in Douglas.
The recognition program had been postponed due to COVID-19 from a ceremony originally planned in May at the Excellence in Ag Seminar in Casper by the University of Wyoming Extension.
Seven of the recipients were in attendance. Nominations were reviewed by a member of UW Extension and members of the co-hosts: the Wyoming Stock Growers Association, Wyoming Wool Growers Association and the Wyoming Farm Bureau.
