The results were announced Jan. 29 during the YAP Winter Leadership Experience.   The Discussion Meet tests participants’ subject knowledge, problem solving abilities and personal and small group communications skills.

He is an agronomist and precision farming adviser for Beck’s Hybrids, covering northern Ohio and northeastern Indiana and remains actively involved on the family farm.  As the winner, he receives a $3,000 cash prize, complimentary registration to the 2023 YAP Winter Leadership Experience and an expense-paid trip to 2023 American Farm Bureau Annual Convention in Puerto Rico. Prize packages are sponsored by Farm Credit Mid-America and Nationwide. Following Hannewald, the top three Discussion Meet finalists are, in no particular order, Kristen Dickey of Henry County, Candace Lease of Wayne County and Miranda Miser of Guernsey County. All finalists receive a softshell jacket and complimentary registration to the 2023 YAP Winter Leadership Experience.
