Young Farmers

 

The American Farm Bureau Federation Young Farmer & Rancher program includes both men and women between the ages of 18-35. The objective of the Young Farmer & Rancher program is to provide leadership in building a more effective Farm Bureau to preserve our individual freedoms and expand our opportunities in agriculture. The program is for individuals who are actively farming, employed by agribusiness, or interested in agriculture. Everyone is welcome! This program teaches skills necessary to be the future leaders in Farm Bureau and in the agriculture industry. It is an opportunity to meet with others with similar interests, share ideas and problems, and work together for a better future in agriculture. Activities are organized on the county, state, and national level.
