Oxford County now has a formal Agricultural Hall of Fame Award display at County Administration building. The wall was unveiled Wednesday night with past and present inductees on hand. President of the Oxford County Federation of Agriculture Walter Kropf says the wall is important to give something back to those who give so much to the community. "It just shows how much effort goes in to so many activities; just like whether it was the Rotary or the Lion's Club, without dedicated people nothing happens. And just the backbone of the community is often agriculture". 2013 Oxford County Agricultural Hall of Fame Award recipient John de Bruyn says he feels very honoured with the appointment and says this kind of thing is very important. "I think once and awhile a positive story, just showing what simple people in a small community can do to have an affect on their community is a great way to advertise Oxford County and just to advertise agriculture and advertise small communities I think". The new Award replaces the Federation?s Community Service Award, first awarded in 2001 for service to the agricultural community. Past recipients of the Community Service Award will be retroactively inducted into the Hall of Fame.
