We announced the Skillet Award winners this morning during our County Presidents’ Conference! This new award highlights County Farm Bureaus that went above and beyond in donating protein, food items and monetary contributions to local food organizations during the 2025 program year.

Johnson County Farm Bureau earned top honors for total pounds of protein donated, contributing 1,500 pounds.

Cass County Farm Bureau was recognized for the highest monetary contribution at $5,005.

Denton County Farm Bureau received the award for the greatest number of items given, totaling 3,300 food items donated.

The Farmers Feeding Families program was launched in 2025 by TFB’s YF&R Advisory Committee to address food insecurity at the local level by connecting farmers and ranchers with food banks, shelters and community aid organizations in their own counties.
