Women’s Leadership Committee
The Women’s Committee is involved in programs that include Leadership Development, Political Influence, Priority Issues, and Agricultural Education.

Young Farmer and Rancher Program
The Young Farmers & Ranchers 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.

Harvest For All
The American Farm Bureau Federation’s Young Farmer & Rancher are working with America’s Second Harvest to help feed the millions of Americans who face hunger. It’s America’s first harvesters helping America’s Second Harvest in what we call a “Harvest for All.”

Foundation for Agriculture - Agricultural Education Department
The American Farm Bureau added the Agricultural Education Department to the Foundation in 1998 to enhance the organization’s role as a national leader in teaching the public about agriculture.

Educating About Ag
Educating about agriculture means providing people with an understanding of agriculture’s history, production, processing, marketing, distribution and nutritional aspects. “Agricultural literacy” is the term used for education about agriculture. This is different from education in agriculture, which refers to preparing individuals for careers in agriculture.

County Activities of Excellence
The Farm Bureau County Activities of Excellence (CAE) Program is designed to celebrate and recognize such programs. Originally known as the County Farm Bureau Idea Exchange, the program now focuses on the priority areas of the organization. The purpose of the program is to recognize and share successful county Farm Bureau programs and activities. Fifteen county Farm Bureaus from across the nation will be selected to present a display of their winning activity during the Farm Bureau Showcase at the organization’s annual convention. Enter your county’s outstanding program now. You may be showing it to members from across the nation in January!

Farmer Idea Exchange
The American Farm Bureau Federation sponsors the annual Farmer Idea Exchange Contest. The contest is designed to surface inventions, equipment modifications, innovative crops, marketing techniques, management systems, and farming practices developed by farmers and ranchers. Its purpose is to encourage Farm Bureau’s farmer and rancher members to share their innovative ideas and help other farmers and ranchers find new ways to cut costs, improve efficiency, protect and improve the environment, and increase their net income. Up to 15 ideas from around the country will be selected to display their winning idea as part of the AFBF Convention in January. Enter your outstanding and innovative idea now!
