Wyoming Farm Bureau Federation recognized outstanding membership achievements during the 2026 WyFB Legislative Meeting in Cheyenne, honoring counties and individuals for their dedication to strengthening the organization at the grassroots level.

Lincoln County Earns Gold and Silver Quota Awards

Lincoln County Farm Bureau Federation claimed both the 2025 Gold Quota Award and the 2025 Silver Quota Award, marking an exceptional year of membership growth.

The Gold Quota Award recognizes the county achieving the greatest percentage of total membership quota, including at least one new young regular member. Lincoln County reached 163% of its 2025 total quota, earning top honors.

In addition, Lincoln County earned the Silver Quota Award, presented to the county with the highest percentage of regular member quota. The county reached 156% of its 2025 regular member quota.

Both awards reflect strong recruitment efforts, meaningful member engagement and a continued commitment to sustaining Farm Bureau’s grassroots strength across the county.

Recognizing Outstanding Membership Secretaries

WyFB also recognized three individuals with the Outstanding Membership Secretary Award. This honor is presented based on performance, quality of transmittals, neatness, accuracy, membership acquisition and exceptional effort toward reaching quota goals.

Each recipient will receive a $100 award in recognition of their work.

This year’s honorees include: Mary Whaley, Big Horn County; Cassie Pickrel, Crook County; and Nina Nield, Lincoln County.

Membership secretaries play a critical role in maintaining accurate records, supporting county leaders and ensuring the smooth processing of memberships. Their behind-the-scenes efforts are essential to the success of the organization statewide.

As Wyoming Farm Bureau continues its mission of strengthening Wyoming agriculture and enhancing Wyoming communities, strong membership growth remains a cornerstone of that effort. Counties like Lincoln — along with dedicated volunteers across the state — demonstrate that Farm Bureau’s grassroots foundation remains strong.
