While Nevada Farm Bureau's Young Farmer and Ranchers were discussing current Ag topics in the Discussion Meet, our Youngest Young Farmer and Rancher's were also preparing for future discussion meets. hopefully 20 years from now these little boys will be carrying on the traditions of Ag that their parents are instilling in them from a very early age! These cute boys are the sons of the State FFA Advisor, the Elko County FB YF&R Chair, and the NVFB State YF&R Chair.
The final round of the Discussion Meet is held at the NVFB Annual Meeting's Awards dinner on the final night of the meeting. This has been the tradition for the last few years as it gives the opportunity for the members attending to all see what the DM is and gives the competitors an opportunity to compete in front of the crowd.
Our final round from left to right was: Candace Shrecengost, Dann Mathews, (Irene Barlow as moderator) Corey Shrecengost, (Doug Bushman as room monitor) and Lacey Tom.
Nevada Farm Bureau members listen to the Discussion Meet as competitors discuss:
2. What can be done to encourage young farmers and ranchers to return home to the farm if it means living in a rural area that does not provide the same amenities (education, health care, technology) as a metropolitan community?
Dann gives his final one minute closing.
Unfortunately, I was not the picture fanatic at this meeting that I usually am--trying to carry a diaper bag, a baby, stroller, my Farm Bureau binder and bag, and my camera bag was just too much and so the camera bag was the one that was dropped. That means I don't have pictures of the winners, but here are the final results of a great discussion meet:
1st Place: Corey S.
2nd Place: Dann M.
3rd Place: Candace S.
4th: Lacey T.
Congratulations to all on a great job!
