OKFB YF&R names 2026 discussion meet winners

Oklahoma Farm Bureau Young Farmers and Ranchers named the winners of three discussion meet competitive events on Friday, Nov. 6, during the organization's 85th annual meeting in Oklahoma City.

Jaclyn Darling of Coal County was named the 2026 winner of the YF&R Discussion Meet, Heath Laubauch of Oklahoma State University was named the 2026 Collegiate Farm Bureau Discussion Meet winner, and Leo Enlow of Sapulpa was named the 2026 High School Discussion Meet winner.

Discussion meet competitors faced fellow participants in a panel-style discussion where each competitor's performance was evaluated on the exchange of ideas and information on predetermined topics. Participants were judged on their ability to offer constructive input, cooperation and communication while analyzing agricultural problems and developing solutions.

As the YF&R Discussion Meet winner, Darling received a Can-Am Outlander 500 ATV, sponsored by Farm Credit of Western Oklahoma and Oklahoma Ag Credit. She also won an expense-paid trip to the 2027 American Farm Bureau annual meeting, where she will represent Oklahoma in the AFBF YF&R Discussion Meet.

The collegiate winner received a cash prize and an expense-paid trip to the 2027 AFBF FUSION Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana, and the high school winner received a cash prize.
