Oklahoma Farm Bureau Young Farmers and Ranchers named the winners of four discussion meet competitive events on Friday, Nov. 7, during the organization’s 84th annual meeting in Oklahoma City.
Celine Walker of Comanche County was named the 2025 winner of the YF&R Discussion Meet, Ryne Crosthwait of Oklahoma State University was named the 2025 Collegiate Farm Bureau Discussion Meet winner, and Katelee Martin of Alva was named the High School Discussion Meet winner.
YF&R competitors faced fellow participants in a panel-style discussion where each competitor’s performance was evaluated on the exchange of ideas and information on predetermined topics. Participants were judged on their ability to offer constructive input, cooperation and communication while analyzing agricultural problems and developing solutions.
As the YF&R Discussion Meet winner, Walker received a John Deere lawnmower, sponsored by P&K Equipment. She also won a trip to the 2026 American Farm Bureau Annual Meeting in Anaheim, California.
The collegiate winner received a cash prize and an expense-paid trip to represent Oklahoma at the 2026 AFBF YF&R Leadership Conference in Portland, Oregon, and the high school winner received a cash prize.
