And in Florida, Woody Larson of Larson Dairy in Okeechobee has been named the 2026 Florida Farm Bureau Farmer of the Year. Larson helped expand his family’s dairy to more than 12,000 cows and has spent decades mentoring young farmers through 4-H and FFA. He will represent Florida at events throughout the year and compete in Moultrie, Georgia, for the 2026 Sunbelt Ag Expo Southeastern Farmer of the Year title.
