Louisiana Agriculture Hall Of Distinction Postpones Ceremony

 BATON ROUGE, La. – Due to concerns over the coronavirus and heeding directions from Gov. John Bel Edwards’ office, the 2020 Louisiana Agriculture Hall of Distinction ceremonies scheduled for March 26 in Baton Rouge have been postponed until further notice. 

This year’s inductees ‒ James Barnett, John Denison, Jay Hardwick and Calvin Viator ‒ will be celebrated at a later date in recognition of their significant contributions to the state’s agricultural community.

Previously purchased tickets will be honored at the rescheduled date.

The Hall of Distinction induction ceremony is presented by Louisiana Radio Network in cooperation with the LSU AgCenter, the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry, and the Louisiana Farm Bureau Federation. Bayer serves as title sponsor and First South Farm Credit is the presenting sponsor.
