The American Farm Bureau Federation Young Farmers and Ranchers program includes both men and women between the ages of 18-35. The objective of the Young Farmers and Ranchers program is to provide leadership in building a more effective Farm Bureau to preserve our individual freedoms and expand our opportunities in agriculture.
“Farm Bureau’s YF&R Program offers the resources and support young farmers, ranchers, and ag professionals require as they develop into our organization and industry’s future leaders. The program gives young agriculturalists the opportunity to gain valuable experience in a number of key areas, ranging from grassroots agricultural advocacy to policy development. YF&R members also benefit both professionally and personally from the networking opportunities offered through the program.
“Thanks to the YF&R Program, Farm Bureau will continue its legacy of developing and providing strong, effective leadership well into the future.”
