Superior Ag has teamed up with 14 News WFIE to celebrate the farmers of today and tomorrow, by honoring a tri-state farmer every month with the Cream of the Crop award. A family farm is more than a business, it’s a lifestyle that has been passed on from generation to generation and it’s a vocation worth preserving.

Anyone from the community may nominate a Cream of the Crop farmer, or candidates may nominate themselves.
