The North American Agricultural Journalists presented Agri-Pulse with the Audrey Mackiewicz Special Award April 25 at the group’s annual banquet at the National Press Club. The award honors the association’s first woman president and long-time Executive Secretary-Treasurer and is given to publications who have expanded their coverage of agriculture. Agri-Pulse now has the largest group of editors devoted to covering agriculture, food and rural issues in Washington, DC. The coverage team includes Sara Wyant, Philip Brasher, Bill Tomson, Daniel Enoch, Spencer Chase, Whitney Forman-Cook, Steve Davies, and contributors Jim Webster, Ed Maixner and Jeff Nalley, who does Open Mic each week for Agri-Pulse. Sara said, “We remain a small, family-owned company but have grown steadily over the last 12 years and now reach all members of the House and Senate, key agency officials, and almost every trade association that deals with agriculture, food, renewable energy and rural issues.
