Cherokee, Okmulgee County Farm Bureaus recognized with County Excellence Award

Oklahoma Farm Bureau presented the OKFB County Excellence Award to Cherokee and Okmulgee County Farm Bureaus on Saturday, Nov. 8, at the organization's 84^th annual meeting in Oklahoma City.

Modeled after the American Farm Bureau Federation's County Activities of Excellence Award, this award recognizes county Farm Bureaus with the most outstanding or unique local program, activity or event.

Cherokee County Farm Bureau teamed up with the Grand River Dam Authority to purchase more than 200 life jackets for public use on the Illinois River in May 2025, showcasing Farm Bureau's commitment to Oklahoma's natural resources and the organization's impact beyond traditional agriculture programs.

Okmulgee County Farm Bureau hosted a county-wide ag tour, coordinated by the county's Young Farmers and Ranchers committee. The tour included several stops in southern Okmulgee County, including a local feed distributor, a Christmas tree farm, a diversified ranch and agritourism destination, and a farmers market.
