As part of its annual Ag Awards, CLFP board member Bill Smittcamp, President & CEO of Wawona Frozen Foods, was named 2021 Agriculturist of the Year by the Fresno Chamber of Commerce.
Bill was recognized by the chamber for his demonstrated history and dedication to the agriculture industry in the greater Fresno area.

"I am honored and truly humbled to be even considered for this award. So many names come to mind of those who have been awarded before me ... Agriculture in California, peaches specifically, has been in my blood all my life. I am just happy to be a part of the agriculture industry here in the valley.”
