Three honored by Moses Lake Ag Hall of Fame

MOSES LAKE — Three local farmers were inducted, one posthumously, into the Moses Lake Agriculture Hall of Fame earlier this month. The Hall of Fame, a function of the Moses Lake Chamber of Commerce, was started in 2010 to recognize and honor distinguished individuals who have made significant contributions to the agricultural industry, according to chamber President and CEO Debbie Doran-Martinez. The honorees were announced and their awards presented at the chamber’s annual meeting and banquet Oct. 15. “Candidates are recognized by their peers for not only their dedication, generosity and selflessness, but also their demonstrated achievements, noteworthy expertise and creative innovations that often provide a legacy of impactful results and lasting benefit to the overall enhancement of local agricultural industry and community at large,” Doran-Martinez said. “Farmers, growers, ranchers and owners and employees of agribusiness firms are all eligible for nomination as either individuals or as families.”
