BISMARCK, N.D. (NDFB) – Billy Ogdahl of Milnor, N.D. won the NDFB Young Farmer and Rancher Discussion Meet at the Farm and Ranch Conference, February 5-7, 2021 at the Ramada Hotel in Bismarck. The Discussion Meet is an exchange of ideas and information from participants on a predetermined topic.

“Participating in the NDFB Discussion Meet is much more than a competition,” said Ogdahl. “Each year we walk away with new perspectives and solutions to take home to our communities.”

Ogdahl took home a Polaris four-wheeler and will compete at the American Farm Bureau Federation YF&R Discussion Meet January 7-10, 2022 in Atlanta, Georgia.

“I look forward to continuing the conversation on a national level and bringing more insight back to North Dakota farmers and ranchers,” said Ogdahl.

Billy and his fiancé Abbigail raise registered red and black angus cattle.

The other finalists were Aspen Lenning of Plaza, Aaron Subart of Robinson, and Anna Lemm of Hillsboro.
