Entrants are judged on entrepreneurial initiative and new approaches to farming, environmental and other on-farm sustainability efforts, as well as economic stability. The winner is picked by a panel of judges, which this year included Jeanne Bernick, Editor at Top Producer magazine; Tom Rufty, Professor of Crop Science, North Carolina State University; Blake Vander Vorst, Senior Agronomist, Ducks Unlimited; and Adrian Percy, Vice President, Development North America, Bayer CropScience.
