PHILIP, S.D. – Announced annually by The Cattle Business Weekly newspaper is the Top 10 Industry Leaders Under the Age of 40. Each year the publication selects a group of men and women who are contributing to the current and future success of the U.S. cattle industry.
Individuals who are striving to be leaders and change makers in the cattle industry are highlighted by the ag publication based in Philip. The Top 10 are routinely people who represent production agriculture, marketing, ag affiliate services, education, research, finance, and ag advocating.
Named to this year’s class of Top 10 are Adam and Grant Raml, South Dakota; Haven Meged, Montana; Shanon Erbele, North Dakota; Matt Woolfolk, Iowa; Ty Dieters, South Dakota; Chris Augustin, North Dakota; Graham Blagg, Kansas; Sarah Kuschel, Minnesota; Dustin Carter, South Dakota and Chris Bartelt, also of South Dakota.
“The cattle industry is fortunate to have many individuals who are willing to be leaders in their fields. We are proud to be able to recognize just a few of them annually,” says Donnie Leddy, publisher of The Cattle Business Weekly. “This year marks our seventeenth Top 10 class – a great group of people that call agriculture home.”
The Top 10 individuals were honored through profiles in the Cattle Business Weekly’s annual herd reference guide magazine that was out this October. You can also read the profiles online at www.cattlebusinessweekly.com.
