The votes to determine the national winner of the 2014 Monsanto America’s Farmers Mom of the Year contest are in, and the South has spoken. Heather Dineen, a first-generation dryland farmer, who farms just outside of Dallas, secured the most votes to add “2014 National Farm Mom of the Year” to her long list of titles.

In April, Dineen was selected by the American Agri-Women and Monsanto to be one of five regional winners in the contest. These women were recognized for their commitment to their families, farms, communities and the agriculture industry, and will each receive a $5,000 cash award.

From this amazing pool of regional winners, America then had the opportunity to vote to determine who would be given the additional title of national “farm mom of the year.” Dineen will receive an additional $5,000 for the honor.
