When she’s not working as editor for Farm Industry News she may be collecting for the Lutheran Ladies. She’s Karen McMahon, pictured on right at Ag Media Summit.

Well Karen has just received a big award. She was presented with the Ruth White Media Award from the Mid American CropLife Association (MACA).

The award is given to members of the media for their distinguished service to agricultural chemicals and MACA activities. It was presented during MACA’s annual meeting held September 7-9 in Des Moines, IA.

McMahon has been editor of Farm Industry News (FIN), a Penton Media publication, for 10 years. She first worked on FIN in 1998 as senior editor, and prior to that, she was managing editor of Penton’s National Hog Farmer for five years.
