Do you know a hort rock star? Now in its 10th year, our sister publication GPN is accepting nominations for its next 40 Under 40 class — the Class of 2021.

GPN’s 40 Under 40 program recognizes our industry’s brightest young stars who already have and are continuing to really make things happen in the industry, their businesses, their communities and their personal lives.

The award is intended to recognize the young industry leaders who have the people skills, the technical know-how, the creativity and vision who will keep our industry moving forward for many years to come.

If you know someone that fits that description, we want to know! Just go to www.gpnmag.com/40-under-40-nomination and fill out the nomination form and tell us why you think he/she belongs in the Class of 2021. The deadline for nominations is Jan. 22.

Incidentally, you’ve met several past 40 Under 40 alums within the pages of this magazine, by way of my “5 Minutes With…” column, found on the inside back page. This month we’re shining the spotlight on Jennifer Moss, director of sales and marketing at Moss Greenhouses Inc. in Jerome, Idaho, and tomato grower extraordinaire.
