The winners in all three contests were announced Jan. 11 at the American Farm Bureau Federation’s 91st annual meeting, held in Seattle, Wash. Young farmers from around the United States competed for the awards by demonstrating knowledge of and achievement in agriculture, as well as commitment to promoting the agriculture industry. The Gaucks, Honeycutt and the Manns earned a trip to the annual meeting by first winning at the state level during Indiana Farm Bureau’s annual meeting, held in November.
