The winter edition of Oklahoma Country magazine features the T.J. and Diane Beach family, Altus, on the cover. Oklahoma Country is published quarterly for Oklahoma Farm Bureau members.
The Beaches were chosen last fall by the state’s largest farm organization to receive the Farm Family of the Year Award.
“I am blessed with a wonderful family to start with,” T.J. said. “I just feel like it’s the best life you can live, living on the farm. It’s a privilege being involved in agriculture, and a privilege to live in Oklahoma.”
As OFB’s top award winners, the Beaches received the use of a new Dodge pickup for a year, an expense-paid trip to the American Farm Bureau Federation annual meeting in Atlanta, Ga., and other gifts in recognition of their accomplishments.
Other stories found in this issue include a profile of Will and Jennifer Cubbage, Bartlesville, 2010 OFB Young Farmers and Ranchers committee leaders; a feature story on 17-year-old country singing sensation Tyler King, Wann; a gardening column featuring information on transplanting trees and shrubs; and an expanded classified advertising section.
