- 22. NATIONAL PRIDE AWARD Thanks to the NACAA, the United Soybean Board, and the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association! “ I was SO impressed by everything that went on at the event. My husband and I want to return in 2010 and bring family and friends, it was that educational AND fun. And, in addition to improving our tomato knowledge, I was thrilled to discover the pillar peach trees and am now seeking the Crimson Rockets to add to my apple trees.”
