NEW ORLEANS – Adam and Mandy Faulk, of Liddieville, in Franklin Parish was named the Farm Bureau’s
Young Farmer and Rancher Achievement Award winner. The award is presented to farm couples under
the age of 35 whose farming operations balance production, profit and environmental concerns.
The Faulks operate a diverse grain, hay and cattle operation on
2,500 acres. They have a custom hay cutting operation and
Mandy owns and operates a soybean candle making company
as well.
“We’re just honored to be recognized among our farming
neighbors,” Adam Faulk, 29, said. “When you farm you can’t
help but work hard, and the farmers we competed against work
just as hard as anybody. They all deserve this award.”
“Adam works so hard,” Mandy Faulk, 29, said of her husband.
“He’s a good farmer and good father. The kids can’t wait to ride
in the new truck.”
Part of the Faulks prize package included a 2008 Dodge Ram
2500 pickup truck, savings bonds and other prizes. As
Louisiana’s state winner the couple will compete for the national
title in January in San Antonio during the American Farm Bureau
Convention. The two other finalists for the award were Christian
Richard, of Vermilion Parish, and Dwayne Viator, of Lafayette
Parish.
