Barbara Carlton named "Woman of the Year in Agriculture"
TALLAHASSEE – Think back to the popular 1960s television show "The Big Valley." Ranch matriarch Victoria Barkley, played by legendary actress Miss Barbara Stanwyck, rides her horse in from the range, manages the family ranch, raises successful children and, all the while, conducts herself as a prim, proper and charming lady. If you thought that could only happen in Hollywood, think again.
Florida Agriculture Commissioner Charles H. Bronson today announced that another "Barbara," Mrs. Barbara Carlton, has been selected to receive the "Woman of the Year in Agriculture" award for 2001.
"The name Carlton is legendary in Florida's agricultural history," Bronson said. "Barbara has carried on the proud tradition of her family name, and is certainly one of the hardest-working women in agriculture."

I don't know why I'm just finding out about this now.

Congratulations, Mrs. Carlton! This is a well-deserved award.
And to be awarded by one Charles Bronson. Historic.
Proud and OBSERVANT son! (I didn't actually read the entire article . . just skimmed it.) Nice catch!
