Executive Editor Mike Wilson took first in the humorous category for his column, “The doctor will see you now” in April 2016. Wilson won second in two categories: for editorial with "A better job defending animal agriculture" and for issues with “A legal battle to farm,” both running in the July-August 2015 magazine.

Wilson’s column, “Your customers are wrong. Live with it,” in the December 2015 issue, earned third in the regular column category.
