Neal Fisher and Tom Borgen will be inducted into the North Dakota Agricultural Hall of Fame on March 10th during the annual North Dakota Winter Show.
Fisher serves as Administrator of the North Dakota Wheat Commission. Fisher is responsible for implementing producer-funded programs intended to increase the total use of North Dakota wheat. Fisher works directly in the areas of export market development, research, transportation, trade policy and other issues to improve the global competitiveness of North Dakota producers of hard red spring, durum and other wheat classes.
Borgen is a retired farmer and past president of the Northern Canola Growers Association. This is how Borgen is described in the book “On Golden Plain” – “The man who has been involved in every aspect of introducing canola into the United States, and could well be called the father of the crop in this country.” Borgen farmed near Langdon for many years and was a staunch supporter and leader in the agricultural industry.
