Lone Star Award

Since 1980, the Lone Star Award is presented each year at the Annual Meeting to an individual who has made a notable contribution to the grain, flour or feed industry. This outstanding contribution to the industry may be one of scientific achievement, marketing, engineering, transportation, management and other aspects of the industry. The list of these recipients is literally a “Who’s Who” of the grain, flour and feed industry.
