The judges will use the following criteria when evaluating each entry: 40% based on the impact the farmer has had on the agriculture community, 30% based on the positive change they’ve created for the future of agriculture and a sustainable food supply, and 30% based on concrete examples that demonstrate how they’ve helped others in the community. The judges/CFS reserve the right to choose winning farmers based on their sole discretion. The Judge’s decisions are final and may not be contested or disputed.
