YF&R members join together in Tulsa for the 2024 YF&R Summer Conference

July 31, 2024

More than 50 Oklahoma Farm Bureau Young Farmers and Ranchers joined together in Tulsa for the 2024 YF&R Summer Conference July 26-28.

Farm Bureau members ages 18-35 had the opportunity to tour local agricultural facilities and network with fellow farmers and ranchers during the three-day event.

Tommy and Chalaynna Salisbury welcomed the group Friday evening for dinner at their sale barn, where Meggie and Jake Gibbs shared financial resources and opportunities farmers for farmers and ranchers.

Saturday morning began at the Tulsa Port of Catoosa, where members had the opportunity to tour the port while learning its history. Tour guide Shelia Shook shared how the port allows for international commodities to become local. 

Members had opportunity to visit the Public Service Company of Oklahoma power plant in Tulsa before rounding out their evening in Claremore at A Bar Ranch. Here, the Armitage Family shared their story of how their ranch began and their traditional approach to ranching. 

“One of the reasons of being involved in YF&R is the networking,” said Tommy Salisbury, YF&R District 9 Representative. “You get to meet people from all over the state. You’ll use that networking further in life, and if you stay involved in agriculture, you’ll end up needing it.”

Jamie Stevenson concluded the conference Sunday morning sharing a devotion with the group
