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.
