OKFB Member Appointed to AFBF Young Farmers and Ranchers Committee
American Farm Bureau recently appointed Ottawa County Farm Bureau member Alisen Anderson to the AFBF Young Farmers and Ranchers Committee.

Anderson will serve a two-year term beginning in February 2022. She will be serving on the 16-member committee to assist in the coordination of YF&R events, competitive events and the Harvest for All program.

“We are honored to have Alisen selected to serve on the YF&R committee and represent Oklahoma’s farmers and ranchers,” said Rodd Moesel, Oklahoma Farm Bureau president. “She continues to be a great asset for our state, and we cannot wait to see the impact she will make on the state and national organization.”

Anderson alongside her husband, Jared, own and operate Anders Farms near Miami, where they grow corn, wheat and soybeans. They also manage and operate their family ranch of 500 commercial cattle as they raise their three children: Grace, Colton and Piper.
