With 7,500 acres of sprawling farmland in East Carroll Parish, Matt Dennis has a lot on his plate.
This year, he’s got something new on the farm—the 2021 Young Farmer and Rancher Achievement Award. The award was presented during the Louisiana Farm Bureau Annual Convention, held partly in person and online for the second year in a row.
Unfortunately, for a second year that gathering will be taking place virtually. We believe however, that this will set us up appropriately for our largest and best convention ever in 2022, as Louisiana Farm Bureau Federation will be celebrating 100 years of serving as your voice of Louisiana agriculture. The anticipation awaiting that celebration will be hard to stand over this next year. We hope you will mark your calendars now to join us June 23-26, 2022.
