Payne County couple wins YF&R Excellence in Agriculture award

November 15, 2013

Brent and Jenny Haken were announced the winners of Oklahoma Farm Bureau’s Young Farmers and Ranchers Excellence in Agriculture Award, Nov. 15, at OKFB’s 72nd Annual Convention in Norman.

The award recognizes successful young adults ages 35 years or younger who are involved in farming but whose primary occupations are not farming or owning an agricultural business. Winners are chosen based on their involvement in agriculture and participation in Oklahoma Farm Bureau and other community organizations.

The couple received a four-wheeler ATV, courtesy of Farm Credit of Western Oklahoma and Chisholm Trail Farm Credit, a $250 gift certificate and an expense paid trip to the American Farm Bureau Federation Annual Meeting in San Antonio, Jan. 12-15, where they will compete for the National YF&R Excellence in Agriculture Award.

Brent and Jenny operate a Simmental-influenced cattle seedstock operation near Glencoe. They currently have about 30 cows and use an embryo transplant program to produce their calves. Brent is employed as the agricultural education instructor at Morrison High School, and Jenny works as an administrator at RK&R Dozer Service. The couple has two children: Emmie, 4, and Luke, 18 months.
