its commitment to excellence. The first recipient of the Inspiration Award was Prof

In addition, during Grain SA’s Congress as well as the Grain Producers’ Award
function, recognition is given to individuals who served the grain industry with
excellence and contributed to its wealth with their time, support and dedication.
