Gary Dyer, President & CEO of Farm Credit Services Southwest, along with the Board and staff, recently gathered together to honor Gilbert “Shag” Rogers, who served as a director for more than 34 years.

At the gathering, Gary spoke about Shag’s tireless service to the association, and presented him with a plaque that read, “With our gratitude and appreciation for your service to the board of directors.” The plaque also displayed a Farm Credit Services Southwest belt buckle.

Shag and his wife Shirley, are long-time Laveen residents and lifetime farmers who grew cotton and vegetables and raised cattle here in Arizona. Shag served Farm Credit from 1972 to his recent retirement in 2006. Gary called Shag “a long-distance contributor to the board. He kept on working. He kept on contributing. He kept on serving the farmers and ranchers of Arizona and California for more than 34 years. We thank you for your years of service and for making a difference to Southwest agriculture through your tireless, focused work on the board.”
