| Hancock County Agriculture Hall of Fame |
| The Purpose
of the Hancock County Agriculture Hall of Fame is to recognize and
honor outstanding contributions to agriculture by Hancock County
people. Annual awards will be made to men or women who have been
instrumental to the success and excellence of agriculture, either as a
farmer or in an agriculturally related field. We desire to honor and
give public recognition to those who have brought distinction to
themselves, have made outstanding contributions to their professions,
and whose community
involvement has served as a stimulus to others. |
| Award Categories - The award may be
made in either of two categories. Select from either "Producer/Breeder"
or "Agricultural Related" categories. Select from among individual,
husband & wife, or partnership, and include necessary information
on one application. |
| Number of Awards made each year may
not exceed four, and the number of posthumous awards will not exceed
two of the four awards. Partnership or husband and wife applications
will be considered as a single nomination and will use one application
form. The number of awards presented each year (from none to four) will
be determined by the committee. Candidates without merit will not be
named for an award. |
| Hall of Fame Nominees may be
submitted by an individual or organization in Hancock County by
completing the nomination form.
One additional page (8.5 x 11 paper)
may be used, if needed. Other additional pages or information will not
be considered. For consideration in 2009, nominations forms must be

selected by the entire committee by ballot. |

recipients picture and plaque in the Hancock County Agricultural
Service Center, accompanied by local media coverage at the annual
banquet. The awards may also be displayed during special county events,
such as the Hancock Co. Fair. |
| An Agriculture Hall of Fame Banquet
will be held each year to induct new members into the Hancock County
Agriculture Hall of Fame. The date and time will be established as an
