Mollie Aronowitz Named 2025 ASFMRA Farm Manager of the Year

Peoples Company is proud to share that Mollie Aronowitz, AFM, has been named the 2025 Farm Manager of the Year by the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers (ASFMRA). The award, sponsored by Syngenta, recognizes one professional each year who demonstrates outstanding leadership, client service, and commitment to responsible land management.

This honor places Mollie among the top farm managers in the country.

ASFMRA highlighted the achievement at its national conference in Clearwater Beach, where members gathered to recognize accredited professionals and celebrate contributions to the industry.

Why this matters

You see Mollie’s impact every day through the way she serves landowners.

Her work focuses on:

• Helping families protect and grow multi-generational assets

• Making informed, data-driven management decisions

• Ensuring each farm operates with long-term stewardship in mind

• Supporting clients through complex transitions in agriculture

Her mindset echoes a line she shared in a recent interview:

“You have to meet every landowner right where they are. When you listen first, you can serve them well.”

Another standout moment from the video comes when she talks about purpose:

“Our responsibility is bigger than acres under management. It’s the people connected to the land.”

About the award

The Farm Manager of the Year award recognizes excellence in rural property management and celebrates leaders who bring professionalism, experience, and integrity to their work.

ASFMRA notes that the award represents the highest standard in the profession.

This year’s conference also underscored the growing importance of trusted advisors. With significant land transitions expected nationwide, ASFMRA emphasized the need for experts who can guide landowners through a fast-changing agricultural economy.
