USDA's Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program holds
a contest every other year for farmers and ranchers who raise food
or fiber in ways that are profitable, good for families and communities,
and beneficial to the environment. The 2004 Patrick Madden Award
for Sustainable Agriculture honors
three such exemplary producers. The award-winners and their farming
operations, as well as farmers and ranchers who merited honorable
mention in the contest, are described in greater detail in this
online booklet.
SARE's first director, Patrick Madden was a pioneer in the movement
toward a strong, independent agriculture for small- and medium-sized
growers.
