KEARNEY—Morrill County Farm Bureau member, David Schuler, won the 2024 Nebraska Farm Bureau (NEFB) Young Farmers and Ranchers (YF&R) Discussion Meet.The award was announced Dec. 10 at the Member Appreciation luncheon at Nebraska Farm Bureau’s 107th Annual Convention in Kearney.
Schuler received the top score during the final round of the Discussion Meet contest. Rather than debating, contestants work to develop a solution to a problem being discussed, building on each other’s contributions. Competitors in the annual contest must be prepared to speak on several current agricultural related topics; the selected question is announced a short time prior to the contest.
Schuler returned home to his family’s ranch near Bridgeport in 2018. Schuler, his wife, Christy, and his parents run Schuler Red Angus, a registered Red Angus seedstock operation. Schuler has been active in Nebraska Farm Bureau, serving on theYF&R committee and as a voting delegate at the state convention.
