Distinguished Service Award

We believe that more recognition should be given to the leaders who have spent of their time and efforts so freely. At this late date, little can be done to honor them as they should be. At this time let us resolve that at each annual convention to honor at least one or more with an appropriate plaque or other appropriate memento for all the efforts that they put forth on this great organization.

With those words, in 1966, delegates to the Florida Farm Bureau Annual Meeting established the Distinguished Service Award to honor Florida agriculturists for their contributions to farming in the state. On the left is the roster of those upon whom the Distinguished Service Award has been bestowed.
