Nominations are now being accepted for the 2025 AgriVision Award—the highest agricultural honor presented by the State of Indiana.
This award, now in its 18th year, is awarded by the lieutenant governor and the Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) to recognize Indiana’s agricultural leaders who are ensuring Indiana is, and remains, a global center for food and agricultural innovation and commercialization.
The AgriVision Award is open to any Indiana resident and all sectors of the agriculture industry—from bioenergy to livestock to the agbiosciences. Any person or organization may submit a nomination through July 1, 2025.
“This award recognizes those leaders who continuously make an impact on Indiana agriculture,” said Indiana’s Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith. “We honor and celebrate the previous AgriVision Award winners and look forward to honoring another individual this August.”
Previous AgriVision Award winners have included individuals who have made significant contributions to the agriculture industry, whether it’s developing a new technology, managing an agribusiness or organization, or working to address a global issue.
“Indiana’s leaders continue to innovate and advance the agriculture industry,” said Don Lamb, Director of ISDA. “I look forward to continuing to see the influence that these individuals make.”
Award nominations are currently being accepted and close on July 1. To nominate an individual, you must complete a form found on the ISDA website and email it to the department. Once a winner has been selected, the award will be presented by Lt. Gov. Beckwith and ISDA Director Lamb during the Celebration of Agriculture at the 2025 Indiana State Fair.
