At this year’s fair, several graduating 4-H and FFA members were recognized for their years of hard work and dedication with a special keepsake: a commemorative belt buckle, courtesy of Brownfield Ag News. The belt buckle symbolizes the culmination of their youth agriculture careers and the impact the programs have had on their lives.
Among those honored was Briar Bender, a member of the Wayne Soil Savers. Briar received the Brownfield Ag News belt buckle as he wraps up his time in both 4-H and FFA.
Briar is the son of Tracy and Jason Bender.
Another honoree, Alyssa Greaber, is a longtime member of the Jefferson Juniors 4-H Club.
Alyssa, the daughter of Troy and Cassie Graber.
The Brownfield belt buckle ceremony is a tradition aimed at recognizing young people who have committed years to leadership, livestock, community service, and personal growth through 4-H and FFA.
