Farm Bureau announces Agriculturalist, Cattlewoman and Cattleman of the Year

Local agriculture organizations recognized three San Luis Obispo County farmers and ranchers during the California Mid-State Fair’s annual Cattlemen and Farmers Day at the Paso Robles Event Center on July 21.

The 2022 award recipients are:

• Tom Bordonaro, Agriculturalist of the Year
• Sarah Kramer, Cattlewoman of the Year; and
• Paul Tognazzini, Cattleman of the Year

The awards were selected by members of the San Luis Obispo County Farm Bureau, San Luis Obispo County Cattlewomen, and San Luis Obispo County Cattlemen’s Association.

“These three individuals have made incredible contributions to our San Luis Obispo County agriculture community,” said Farm Bureau Executive Director Brent Burchett. “Our county’s $2.5 billion agricultural economy is built upon the hard work of farmers, ranchers, and agribusiness leaders, and today we are proud to recognize a few of our very best.”
