During the annual meeting, Newtson honored Shannon Rust, Morrow County president, as the outstanding county president, and Lisa Rietmann, federal programs-transportation committee chair, as the outstanding committee chair.
Rust has served the Oregon wheat producers for a number of years and will continue her service in 2010. Rietmann was honored for her in-depth participation in the delivery and implementation of the new Farm Bill.
