The coveted Horizon and Farm Broadcaster of the Year awards were presented on Friday afternoon at the NAFB annual meeting in Kansas City.

The 2011 Horizon Award winner is Julie Root of RFD Radio in Illinois. Julie has been farm broadcasting for a grand total of two years and has already proven to be a great talent for the industry.

And the 2011 Farm Broadcaster of the Year is Greg Akagi – our immediate NAFB past president and 18 year farm broadcast veteran with WIBW/Kansas Ag Network.

Congratulations to both!
