The Oklahoma Farm Bureau Young Farmers and Ranchers will host its annual summer conference July 13-15 at the Quartz Mountain Resort in Lone Wolf, Oklahoma.
OKFB members ages 18-35 are invited to attend the three-day conference to meet fellow young farmers and ranchers from across the state, tour local agricultural facilities, and learn more about YF&R leadership opportunities and programs.
All conference participants will be entered into a drawing to win a free trip to Washington, D.C. for the 2019 OKFB Congressional Action Tour.
Registration for the conference is $20 per person, and includes three meals, tours, entertainment and childcare. Hotel rooms at the lodge are $130 per night, including breakfast.
To attend, submit the registration form and payment no later than June 25.
Those interested in attending should contact their county Farm Bureau for potential sponsorship opportunities. County Farm Bureaus sponsoring first-time attendees of the conference will be reimbursed by the OKFB YF&R committee.
For more information, please contact OKFB YF&R Coordinator Zac Swartz at 405-205-0070 or zac.swartz@okfb.org.
