BIRMINGHAM, ALA.-- Ben and Jessica Johnson of DeKalb County were named Soybean Division winners in the Alabama Farmers Federation 2023 Outstanding Young Farm Family (OYFF) contest during the organization’s Young

Farmers Conference in Birmingham on February. 25.

The statewide contest is for farmers ages 18-35 who receive most of their income from production agriculture. It measures success based on farm growth and diversification, Farm Bureau involvement, and community leadership.

The Johnsons raise row crops in Fyffe. As division winners, they will serve a one-year, ex-officio term on the Federation’s State Soybean Committee, where they’ll see the policy development process firsthand and help guide research, promotion, and education work.
