Nearly 600 members of the St. Joseph, MO, business community attended the 11th Annual Farm City Breakfast March 20, where Tom Brand, the NAFB Executive Director and former longtime farm broadcaster at KFEQ (St. Joseph, MO) was named the 2015 Hall of Fame Award winner. Mitch Holthus, voice of the Kansas City Chiefs, was the guest speaker. Holthus was raised on a Kansas farm and traveled to St. Joseph regularly as a child. He encouraged the attendees to look “beyond the obvious” to have a winning impact in their lives. He encouraged attendees to impact their environment in a winning fashion by planting a seed of hope, fertilizing with relentless energy and unwavering faith and harvesting with a humble and thankful spirit. The Farm-City Breakfast was held in honor of National Ag Day by the Chamber’s Agribusiness Committee.
