Jeff Bidstrup, a farmer from Australia, is the recipient of the 2008 Dean Kleckner Trade & Technology Advancement Award. Bidstrup grows grain and cotton on about 12,000 acres in Warra, Queensland.
The award, given by the Truth About Trade and Technology (TATT) during a farmer-to-farmer roundtable in Des Moines, Iowa, USA, seeks to recognize "strong leadership, vision and resolve in advancing the rights of all farmers to choose the technology and tools that will improve the quality, quantity and availability of agricultural products around the world”. TATT is an organization “committed to promoting free trade and agricultural biotechnology through farmer-led educational initiatives that target public officials, opinion leaders, and the agricultural community”.
