The Collegiate Farm Bureau chapter at Southwestern Oklahoma State University was honored with the Oklahoma Farm Bureau Young Farmers and Ranchers Moesel Award on Friday, Nov. 8, during the organization’s 83rd annual meeting in Oklahoma City.
The Moesel Award recognizes the top Collegiate Farm Bureau chapter that works to improve their local chapter while strengthening the Farm Bureau organization.
The SWOSU chapter was active throughout the 2023-2024 school year, hosting farm tours of local operations, hearing from guest speakers, participating in Read an Accurate Ag Book Week, hosting a flower bar for members to learn about floriculture and more. Several Collegiate Farm Bureau members also attended statewide Farm Bureau events throughout the year.
The Oklahoma Farm Bureau Annual Meeting is the organization’s largest gathering of farmers and ranchers every year. At the event, members vote on grassroots policy, elect leaders and award outstanding individuals. OKFB has a presence in all 77 Oklahoma counties and serves as the voice of agriculture and the rural way of life. To learn more, visit okfarmbureau.org.
