Each year the Greater Sioux Falls Chamber of Commerce's Agri-Business Division recognizes a Farm Family of the Year and an Agri-Business Citizen(s) of the Year.

A subcommittee of the Agri-business Division nominates deserving families and agri-business citizens to be considered for the award and the entire Agri-Business Council chooses the winners.

They are recognized in the January issue of Chamber News (click here for last years issue of Chamber News), at the Mayor's Round-up & Sale of Champions at the Sioux Empire Livestock Show and at the Agri-Business Division Annual Meeting. The Farm Family also shares their expertise by sitting on the Agri-Business Council for a year.
