Cary Lightsey is Southeastern Farmer of the Year
The 2009 Swisher Sweets Sunbelt Expo Southeastern Farmer of the Year is Cary Lightsey from Lake Wales, FL. He’s pictured getting his check for $15,000 during the award luncheon on opening day of the Expo.
The Willie B. Withers Luncheon honors excellence in agricultural production and management, leadership in community and farm organizations and recognizes family contributions in producing safe and abundant supplies of food, fiber and shelter for U.S. consumers. Lightsey is the sixth overall winner of the award from Florida.
I’ll post a video clip of Cary’s speech as soon as I get it uploaded. We’ve been internet challenged today but I think it’s getting better now. Post Update: Here’s that video:
