H.A. "Dave" True was the winner in the Agriculture Category. True entered into ranching in the late 1950s and his innovative approach was the key to his success. He instituted the practice of retaining calves beyond weaning and acquired farm and feeding pens, and eventually feed lots, a cattle management practice which increased the long term profitability of his operations. To support this growth, True branched out into farming, producing crops to feed his cattle. Completing his vertical integration, he acquired an interest in a packing plant and initiated a direct marketing effort. H.A. "Dave" True was truly representative of the entrepreneurial flair which has made farming and ranching a mainstay of Wyoming’s economy.
