Meet our 2024 Winners
This year’s class of 20 Under 40 Winners include farmers who grow everything from corn and soybeans to pumpkins and shrubs and raise dairy cows, cattle and even horses! They’re innovative and inspiring—both in our industry and their communities. And as we celebrate our 60th anniversary, we’re excited to see what’s to come with these young farmers leading the way.
