Applications for the Oklahoma Farm Bureau Young Farmers and Ranchers Achievement Award and Excellence in Agriculture Award are now open through Thursday, Oct. 15.
The YF&R Achievement Award recognizes YF&R members who have excelled in their farm or ranch and have honed their leadership abilities through Farm Bureau programs and activities. Participants are involved in production agriculture with most of their income subject to normal production risks.
Applicants are evaluated on their excellence in management, growth and scope of their operation and self-initiative displayed throughout the farm or ranch.
The YF&R Excellence in Agriculture Award recognizes YF&R members who have a passion for agriculture but have not earned the majority of their income from an owned agriculture enterprise in the last three years.
Judges evaluate applicants based on their understanding of agricultural issues, leadership experiences and achievement and their ability to communicate their agricultural story.
Award winners will be announced at the 2026 OKFB Convention in Oklahoma City in November. Winners will represent Oklahoma and compete at the 2028 American Farm Bureau Convention in Oklahoma City.
Applicants for both awards must be between the ages of 18-35 to compete.
To apply, please complete the form below by Oct. 15.
