Ag Hall of Fame open for nominations

Each year, the Wyoming Livestock Roundup recognizes two Wyoming citizens or couples for their involvement in the state’s agriculture industry by inducting them into the Wyoming Agriculture Hall of Fame. 

Started in 1992, the Wyoming Agriculture Hall of Fame has honored 75 Wyomingites to date.

“The Wyoming Agriculture Hall of Fame award was first started in 1992 to recognize leadership in the ag community,” says Wyoming Livestock Roundup Publisher Dennis Sun. “The need is there to recognize people who have been leaders and given themselves, their time and countless resources to help the ag community in the state.”

Last year’s inductees were Laurie Boner of Glenrock and Philip Ellis of Chugwater.

To nominate someone for the Wyoming Agriculture Hall of Fame, visit wylr.net and click on the Ag Hall of Fame tab, e-mail roundup@wylr.net or call the office at 307-234-2700.

Nominations must be submitted by June 1. 

After all nominations are received, a panel of three judges independently rank nominees and select the year’s inductees. A belt buckle and poster will be presented to the winners at the 2025 Wyoming Agriculture Hall of Fame Picnic, held Aug. 13 during the Wyoming State Fair.
