We are so excited to announce that nominations for inductees into the 2025 Louisiana Agriculture Hall of Distinction are now open!

 

You can nominate individuals (living or deceased) who have made a significant impact on Louisiana agriculture. Nominees can represent farming, ranching, forestry, aquaculture/fisheries, education and agribusiness.

A committee of five individuals representing different aspects of agriculture will select no more than three nominees each year. Each member will serve staggered three-year terms.

Individuals selected to the Louisiana Agriculture Hall of Distinction will be recognized at the annual ceremony. We are excited to announce the date for 2025 soon!
