Celebrating Our 2026 Harvest Bowl Honorees
Strong farms and strong communities grow together. This year’s NDSU Harvest Bowl honorees are a reminder of the people behind both: the farmers and families whose work, leadership and service make a lasting difference across our region.

A tradition worth celebrating
The 52nd annual Harvest Bowl takes place November 20–21, 2026, with an awards dinner Friday evening in West Fargo and the NDSU football game against Northern Illinois on Saturday in Fargo.
Since 1973, Harvest Bowl has celebrated the connection between agriculture, education and Bison athletics. Along with recognizing outstanding agriculturists, the event supports scholarships for NDSU student-athletes with agricultural backgrounds or those pursuing agricultural degrees.
To all of this year’s honorees: congratulations, and thank you. Your commitment extends beyond your own operations to the neighbors, organizations and communities around you. That’s something worth celebrating.
