Jacob and Chastity Beck of Logan County were honored with the Oklahoma Farm Bureau Young Farmers and Ranchers Excellence in Agriculture Award at the organization’s 83rd annual meeting Nov. 8-10 in Oklahoma City.
The award is presented to young farmers and ranchers who do not derive a majority of their income from a farming or ranching operation for excellence in agriculture and Farm Bureau.
“To us, winning this award is a reflection of all the time and hard work we have put into the family business,” Jacob said. “It is a tribute to the legacy of family members who have come before us, and we are just so glad to have been able to be a part of this.”
Jacob is the third generation to operate Beck’s Farm Equipment in Guthrie, an agricultural equipment dealership with a full service and parts department. Both Jacob and Chastity work the family’s retail business and raise cattle and wheat in Logan County.
The Becks received a Polaris Sportsman 450 HO ATV, courtesy of Oklahoma Ag Credit and Farm Credit of Western Oklahoma. They also earned a trip to the 2026 AFBF Annual Meeting in Anaheim, California, where they will compete for the AFBF Excellence in Agriculture Award.
The Oklahoma Farm Bureau Annual Meeting is the organization’s largest gathering of farmers and ranchers every year. At the event, members vote on grassroots policy, elect leaders and award outstanding individuals. OKFB has a presence in all 77 Oklahoma counties and serves as the voice of agriculture and the rural way of life. To learn more, visit okfarmbureau.org.
