ARE YOU the best in the industry?

Introducing the Best of Specialty Ag awards program — where we shine the light on products and services growers count on to make their operations more successful.

Here’s how it works

  • Get on the ballot. Work with our team to enter your company and get your products listed in the right categories and in front of growers as they vote for the Best of Specialty Ag.
  • Get the word out. Use your marketing channels to drive people to the ballot to vote for your brand. We’ll be promoting the voting period on our channels, too, so be sure to share our emails, ads and social posts as well!
  • Get ready to celebrate! Once the votes are counted, share your story with exclusive marketing opportunities and inclusion in the Best of Specialty Ag commemorative magazine. Winners will be honored at the Great Lakes Fruit, Vegetable and Farm Market EXPO.
