Recognizing Contributions to Ag
Many people contribute immeasurably to the general good of the agricultural industry. To recognize these contributions and honor the individuals who make them, Texas Tech University's Davis College of Agricultural Sciences & Natural Resources established the Outstanding Agriculturalist Award. Each year, an agricultural producer, an agribusiness person, and an individual with a significant record in public service are selected for the award.
