Governor Kim Reynolds, Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig, and Department of Natural Resources Director Kayla Lyon invite Iowans to nominate individuals or families who are conservation leaders in their community for the 2025 Iowa Farm Environmental Leader Award.
The award recognizes farmers and farm families who go above and beyond to take voluntary actions to improve and protect Iowa’s natural resources, while serving as leaders within their communities. Since the creation of the award in 2012, 821 farm families have been recognized. The recipients of the award will be honored during a ceremony on Wednesday, August 13 at the Iowa State Fair.
To be considered for recognition in 2025, nominations will be accepted through May 5.
The nomination form can be found here. An appointed committee representing conservation and agricultural groups will review the nominations and select the winners.
