2024 Farm Bureau Young Farmer of the Year

Outstanding Young Farmer of the Year Kevin Riddle is the son of Britt and Jackie Riddle. He grew up in the Grays Creek Community in Cumberland County, where he resides with his family, Dana and Addison. From a young age, Riddle learned from his father and developed an interest in equipment he could operate. Many of Riddle’s preteen/teen years were spent working with James Autry on Autry Farms.

Riddle was a charter member of the FFA Chapter at Gray’s Creek High School, where he graduated in 2007. After high school, Riddle began to work with the family business and the re-establishment of the family farm. Working with his father, the family grows various row crops and summer produce.

In 2016, Riddle began growing strawberries, and successfully reopened the McNeill Strawberry Patch, under the mentorship and support of Clifton McNeill Jr. Riddle currently serves on the Cumberland County Soil and Water Conservation District Board of Supervisors, supporting the farming community of Cumberland County.

In his spare time, Riddle enjoys hunting, fishing, spending time with his family and working with his dog, Piper.
