Each year, Senator Enzi and I have the opportunity to introduce outstanding individuals as they are inducted into the Wyoming Agriculture Hall of Fame. As one of the 2018 inductees, Dave is an outstanding addition to their ranks.

In the years that followed, Dave worked with his father and brothers to expand the company's focus. Today the True Companies is a diversified portfolio of farms, ranches, and feedlots, as well as businesses in the oil and gas and transportation sectors.
