Oklahoma Farm Bureau named Okmulgee County the Lewis H. Munn Farm Bureau Builders award winner during the OKFB 72nd Annual Convention, Nov. 15, in Norman.
The award is named after the second president of Oklahoma Farm Bureau, and each year a specific area of involvement is judged for the award. This year’s area was local affairs.
Okmulgee County worked hard to present a day of agriculture education to the local youth through the local multicultural association. By partnering with the Southwest Dairy Growers, the county presented a local program that included using a dairy cow to demonstrate the milking process and provided nutritious ice cream snacks to talk about how milk goes from the cow to their homes. OKFB’s “Pig to Plate” video and the “Farmopoly” game were also presented to the association to use in future activities.
