Awards & Recognition

Awards and Recognition

AgGateway member companies and volunteers are what drive our mission to bring seamless digital connectivity to agriculture. To recognize the work of exceptionally dedicated individuals and organizations, AgGateway hosts an annual awards program to shine a light on their achievements. Honorees are recognized through three distinct awards:

The Ron Storms Leadership Award recognizes one person each year who has demonstrated significant personal dedication and contributions over a long period of time and in several different areas of AgGateway’s work. Any member can nominate a worthy candidate. Click here for more information and a nomination form.

Ron Farrell was a founder of AgGateway, and for nearly two decades was a catalyst for the connectivity and interoperability initiatives the organization has enabled throughout its history. Ron’s ubiquitous blue sports coat always featured a gold lapel pin featuring the word “Attitude.” It served as a constant reminder that with the right mindset and a spirit of collaboration we can reach our goals. Ron succumbed to cancer in 2020, but his inspiration lives on in the work and people that drive our achievements. To celebrate his contributions, the Ron Farrell Attitude Award was launched in 2023.
