The Batavian's series on local farmers receiving award from NYS Agricultural Society

By Howard B. Owens

We just learned that our series on Genesee County Farms and Farmers is receiving an online feature writing award from the New York State Agriculture Society.

We entered the first installments from the series earlier this year.

The award will be presented at the Society's annual forum in Liverpool on Jan. 9.

Tom Rivers, former staff writer for the Batavia Daily News and editor now of Orleans Hub, has previously been honored by the society for his stories on local agriculture.

Congratulations Howard, The award in my opinion is well deserved. Your series thus far has been an excellent look into our local agriculture.
