The Excellence in Agricultural Award recognizes young farmers, between 18 and 35 years of age, who are involved in NCFB's Young Farmer and Rancher (YF&R) program and who farm full-time or part-time, on a smaller-scale or in a non-traditional operation. Kevin Bradley's farm improvements and practices were judged the most outstanding in production efficiency, innovation, improvement and environmental stewardship.
