🌾 Congratulations to Leo Morgan Wilcox, the 2026 Texas Rice Festival Young Farmer of the Year! 🌾

Born in 2005, Leo has been surrounded by his family’s rice farming operation his entire life. In 2024, the same year he graduated, Leo planted and harvested his first crop with the guidance and help of his father.

In 2025, Leo had the opportunity to acquire Beaumont Rice Mills, now operating as Sunset Milling. Alongside several close friends, he has been working hard to learn the operation and make great progress toward getting the mill back to 100%.

Leo is incredibly grateful to receive the honor of being named Young Farmer of the Year, and he gives special thanks to his dad, Taylor Wilcox, for the guidance, commitment, and support that helped bring him to this point.

We are proud to recognize Leo and celebrate the next generation of agriculture in our rice-growing community. Congratulations, Leo! 🌾💚💛

🌾 2026 TEXAS RICE FESTIVAL FARMER OF THE YEAR — STEVE DEVILLIER 🌾

The Texas Rice Festival is proud to recognize Steve Devillier as our 2026 Farmer of the Year!

Steve’s roots in agriculture run deep. Growing up in Winnie, Texas, surrounded by a large family and a community heavily involved in agriculture, farming quickly became more than a livelihood — it became a way of life.

Steve planted his first crop in 1975 at just 15 years old and has planted a crop every year since. Over the years, he has traveled throughout Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Arkansas, California and even Nicaragua to learn new farming techniques and continue expanding his knowledge of agriculture.

Today, Steve and his wife, Rhonda, operate a diverse farming and ranching operation that includes rice, crawfish, hay and cattle. He has also dedicated many years to serving the agricultural community through organizations including the Devers Canal Rice Producers Association, Winnie Rice Farmers Co-Op, Farm Bureau and the Texas Rice Council Board.

Steve and Rhonda are proud parents of three daughters and grandparents to seven grandchildren, and Steve hopes his family’s agricultural legacy continues for generations to come.

In Steve’s own words, he doesn’t plan to retire — farming and ranching were born in him and run through his blood.

Please join us in congratulating Steve Devillier, the 2026 Texas Rice Festival Farmer of the Year! 🌾👏
