Comanche County was honored for excelling in the program areas of public policy, service to members, public relations, membership, Women's Leadership Committee and Young Farmers and Ranchers Committee.
"The opportunity for our county to win this award means a lot to us," said Isaac Fisher, Comanche County Farm Bureau vice president. "It shows the hard work of our staff, our board of directors and all of the members in our county who work so hard throughout the year to promote agriculture."
Comanche County Farm Bureau sponsored Farm Field Days in September 2024, an agricultural education event for area fifth-grade students developed by a Comanche County Farm Bureau member. The event featured 12 educational stations highlighting farming equipment, large animal veterinary care, aquaculture, horticulture and more. More than 1,400 students attended the multi-day event.
Comanche County also hosted a number of events and activities throughout the year, including a membership booth at a local junior livestock show, a Q&A meeting for county sheriff candidates, a farmhand Olympics event for students in Comanche County, bus and fire safety events for local schools and more.
The Oklahoma Farm Bureau Annual Meeting is the organization's largest gathering of farmers and ranchers every year.
