Chasen Doye of Comanche County was honored with the Oklahoma Farm Bureau Young Farmers and Ranchers Achievement Award on Saturday, Nov. 9, during the organization's 83rd annual meeting in Oklahoma City.
The Achievement Award recognizes Young Farmers and Ranchers who have excelled in their farming or ranching operation and have honed their leadership abilities through Farm Bureau and other activities and organizations.
"It means a lot to receive this award," Doye said. "The fact that my parents won the same award back in the day was really neat. There aren't many people who just farm anymore, so I'm honored to win this award and carry on a tradition for my family."
Doye is a fifth-generation farmer and raises registered Hereford cattle and stocker calves alongside a minimal-till farming operation consisting of wheat, corn, milo, oats, sudangrass and alfalfa. Doye also raises peas, radishes and turnips as cover crops on his operation.
As Achievement Award winner, Doye received a John Deere gator, courtesy of P&K Equipment. Doye also received an expense-paid trip to the 2026 AFBF Annual Meeting in Anaheim, California, where he will compete on a national level for the AFBF YF&R Achievement Award.
The Oklahoma Farm Bureau Annual Meeting is the organization's largest gathering of farmers and ranchers every year. At the event, members vote on grassroots policy, elect leaders and award outstanding individuals. OKFB has a presence in all 77 Oklahoma counties and serves as the voice of agriculture and the rural way of life. To learn more, visit okfarmbureau.org.
