Business Wins Award

Gluten Free Oats of Powell, Wyo., was recently awarded as an outstanding company at a national ag conference in Sheridan, Wyo.
Each year, the host state for the North American Agricultural Marketing Officials’ (NAAMO) annual meeting is given the opportunity to select an outstanding company to receive the 2011 Agricultural Marketing Award. The Wyoming Business Council Agribusiness Division hosted the conference this year and chose Gluten Free Oats to receive the honor.
Gluten Free Oats was chosen because of the work it has done to grow from a very small company to one that is attracting international buyers. Seaton and Jill Smith, owners of the company, were presented with a plaque at the three-day conference attended by 64 participants from around the United States and Canada.
“We were very excited to give this award to Seaton and Jill,” said Cindy Garretson-Weibel, director of the Business Council’s Agribusiness Division and past president of NAAMO. “They have worked so hard to grow their business and are very passionate about their product. They epitomize success in agriculture and we were very proud to present them with the award.”
