Source: DTN/Progressive Farmer

The writers, designers, and content creators on the Progressive Farmer editorial team received 19 awards at the 2024 North American Agriculture Journalists competition (NAAJ). In addition, two earned a coveted Jesse H. Neal award, the business-to-business media equivalent of a Pulitzer Prize, for work that appeared in Progressive Farmer.

"The variety of awards we win each year shows the breadth and depth of the talent at DTN/Progressive Farmer."
Greg Horstmeier, DTN Editor-in-Chief

In the annual NAAJ competition, DTN/Progressive Farmer captured:

*Three first-place awards

*Four second-place awards

*Five third-place awards

*Seven honorable mentions

Sweeping the Editorial category, DTN Editor Emeritus Urban Lehner received first and third place, and Progressive Farmer Editor-in-Chief Gregg Hillyer brought home second and honorable mention awards.

DTN/Progressive Farmer won awards in 10 of 11 writing and photography categories.

The NAAJ competition judges content produced by ag media, such as DTN, plus agriculture coverage from daily newspapers and general audience media. The Neal Awards recognize the best work within B2B media, which serves the legal, medical, health, construction, and technology industries.

At the 70th annual "Jesse H. Neal Awards" ceremony held April 26 in New York, Progressive Farmer Art Director Brent Warren and Production Manager Barry Falkner won best art direction of a magazine cover for their "future of food" collaboration for the April 2023 issue.

DTN/Progressive Farmer also had two other Neal finalists. Lehner was nominated for a collection of commentaries, and DTN "Field Posts" was a finalist in the podcast category.

"The variety of awards we win each year shows the breadth and depth of the talent at DTN/Progressive Farmer," said Greg Horstmeier, DTN Editor-in-Chief. "Whether it's breaking news, special issues, art direction, photography, or audio podcasts, we have some of the best in the business. Our award-winning content is a key part of the value that DTN provides to customers."
