We are looking forward to the opportunity to recognize our local farmers for the food and fiber they produce.

 

Agriculture has a tremendous impact on our local economy and the Bainbridge-Decatur County Chamber of Commerce is preparing to celebrate this industry on November 8 at the 18th annual Ag Appreciation Luncheon.  We are looking forward to the opportunity to recognize our local farmers for the food and fiber they produce.

The luncheon will feature a keynote speaker, a great meal, and a program, but the highlight of the event is recognizing an outstanding Ag Man and Ag Woman for their contributions to Decatur County agriculture.  There have been many distinguished and deserving recipients of these awards over the years. 

Past Ag Man recipients include: Hubert Dollar, Tommy Wheeler, Robert Humphrey, Marvin Rentz, Eddie McGriff, Alvin Newton, Dr. Oscar Jackson, Keith Griffin, Jud Greene, Glenn Heard, Willis Berry, Andy Bell, John Bridges, Sr., John Bridges, Jr., Charles Bailey, Greg Calhoun, Tommy Dollar, Kim Rentz, Clifford Dollar, Jr., Douglas Dean, Jerry Long, Russell Day, Alan Davis, Harold Barber, J.B. Kendrick and Dale and Greg Murray, Robert M. Cohen, Paul Digby, and Buster Bell.

The Chamber of Commerce is now accepting nominations for the 2019 Ag Man and Ag Woman recipients.  To be considered as a candidate for the award, a nominee should be an outstanding leader in the field of agriculture in Decatur County with proven contributions to the agricultural industry and community.  Nominations will be accepted from the general public.  Please visit the Chamber’s website, www.bainbridgegachamber.com, to submit a nomination via the online nomination form.  The nomination deadline is September 20, 2019.
