BATON ROUGE, LA -- Jimmy Hoppe, a rice farmer from Iowa LA, was just the fourth person honored by being inducted into the Louisiana Agriculture Hall of Distinction (see USA Rice Daily story, January 29, 2015).
USA Rice's Randy Jemison introduced Hoppe at last night's awards ceremony, saying "Jimmy's deep knowledge of farming, commodity processing, and marketing, coupled with his genuine concern for others, has equipped him to be one of Louisiana's great agricultural ambassadors, building good will between consumers and production agriculture."
