POCATELLO - A local man is the owner of a brand new truck after taking first place at the national Young Farmers and Ranchers discussion meet.

James Williams of Ucon was presented with a 2500 Dodge Ram pick-up at the Pocatello Holiday Inn today.

Williams had to lead a group discussion about four agricultural topics including how to improve infrastructure. Williams said, "As exciting as it was to win a pick-up, I think it was a little more exciting to be able to go and represent the state of Idaho. that became a great privilege, and you felt a lot of support from people back in the state of Idaho."

Besides farm work Williams also teaches at the Sugar City seminary and BYU-I institute.
