New York Farm Bureau presented a number of awards at its Tuesday night awards banquet to those members and counties that have excelled in the Farm Bureau mission to “serve and strengthen agriculture.”
The dinner, sponsored by Farm Credit East, announced awards for Young Farmers, Promotion and Education and Membership.
The
Young Farmer program handed out three awards for their annual contests.
Winners of these awards will represent New York at the American Farm
Bureau Annual
Meeting this January in San Diego, Calif.
The New York State
Discussion Meet champion was Sarah Blood from Schoharie County, the
Excellence of Agriculture award was presented to Johanna Fox-Bossard
from Madison County and the 2014 New York State Achievement
Award winner was Stuart Ziehm from Washington County.
Membership
is a crucial part of Farm Bureau and many individuals took an active
role in the campaign to increase numbers. Many individuals worked
tirelessly to
recruit new members and over 40 people were awarded for their efforts.
Lastly,
the Farm Bureau awards the “Farm Bureau Key” to counties that excel in
overall program accomplishment. Farm Bureaus in Chautauqua, Schuyler, Tompkins and Wyoming counties won the 2014 Gold Key
Award.
