The president of an Indiana-based aquaculture company has been honored with an award for work in his field.
Norman McCowan, the president of Bell Aquaculture, received the Agrivision Award this week, recognizing him as a leader of the agricultural community in Indiana.
“The vision, team-building and sense of service he has consistently shown is an asset to his business, his specific industry, the state and national agricultural sectors and his community,” said Indiana Lt. Gov. Sue Ellspermann. “The efforts of citizens like Norman are what makes Hoosier agriculture such a great success story.”
McCowan received the award based on nominations from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and also the Indiana Soybean Alliance, which praised Bell for use of soybeans as feed.
“Norman McCowan has demonstrated vision in fish production, processing, research, economic development and the use of soybeans as a sustainable feed ingredient that is helping Indiana to be recognized domestically and internationally,” wrote Indiana Soybean Alliance CEO Jane Ade Stevens.
