Adam and Rachel Bohl of Comanche County are the 2013 recipients of Oklahoma Farm Bureau’s Young Farmers and Ranchers Achievement Award. They were recognized as OKFB’s top YF&R farming and ranching couple at the organization’s 72nd Annual Convention, Nov. 15, in Norman.
As Achievement Award winners, the Bohl family received 80 tractor hours on a John Deere 5055D tractor donated by P&K Equipment, a chainsaw donated by Smith Farm and Garden in Tulsa, a $250 gift card and an expense paid trip to San Antonio for the American Farm Bureau Annual Meeting, where they will compete on the national level.
Adam and Rachel grow wheat and cotton on their farm near Chattanooga. When water and forage conditions are favorable, they have a cow-calf operation and run stocker cattle. The Bohls run a custom cotton harvesting business, baling 500-1,000 bales of cotton each year.
The Bohl couple has been involved in Farm Bureau for 16 years and have been active with the county YF&R committee. Adam is a member of the Chattanooga Volunteer Fire Department, and Rachel serves as a Cloverbuds leader and is active in P.E.O. They have a 14-month-old daughter, Lauren.
OKFB’s Young Farmers and Ranchers Program is open to both men and women, ages 18 to 35, who hold a membership in his or her county Farm Bureau.
