On Saturday evening, Colorado Farm Bureau hosted our annual banquet, where a few people were honored for their service, membership, and other accomplishments.

YF&R Discussion Meet Winner: Anna Leigh Peek
Collegiate Discussion Meet Winner: Brock Miller

The discussion meet competition is a simulation of a county board meeting discussion. Contestants are given a pre-selected topic to discuss and are judged on their cooperative attitude, problem solving abilities, and implementation of a solution. Discussion Meet winners will move on to compete at the AFBF annual conference in Anaheim, California, in January.

Emerging Leader Award: Cole Cooper
Land Steward of the Year: Mike and Tim Ritschard
Distinguished Volunteer Award: Dr. Zena Buser

Retiring Board Members, Chad Musick from District 1 and Jason Vermillion from District 3, were recognized for their service. Jacob Walter was also recognized for his two years of service as the YF&R Chair.

Each year, the Colorado Farm Bureau recognizes two individuals with the most distinguished and highest honor, the Service to Agriculture Award. One is awarded to an individual “outside” and one “within” Farm Bureau. The Service to Agriculture Award was started in 1968 and is given to individuals who have exhibited extraordinary service to Colorado agriculture and to the Colorado Farm Bureau.

The Service to Agriculture “outside” Farm Bureau winner is CJ Mucklow, and the winner “within” Farm Bureau is Marc Arnusch.
