The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Young Farmer & Agriculturist Committee, in partnership with Insight FS, has announced its new Under 35 recognition program for YFA members. The effort aims to recognize and celebrate the creativity and innovation of young farmers and agriculturists who are preserving agriculture through leadership in environmental, social and economic activities.
"Whether you excel in the office or are a leader in the field, this program is about highlighting dynamic leaders," said WFBF State YFA Chair Bob Nash. "Young leaders are the future of agriculture and we are excited to celebrate them."
This recognition is open to Wisconsin Farm Bureau Young Farmer and Agriculturists members between the ages of 18-35. Nominees will be judged on criteria in one of five sustainability categories, including future, environment, storytelling, service and self.
Nominations will be accepted through August 15 from agriculture leaders and professionals.
Each finalist will receive an embroidered jacket and the top individuals in each category will receive $200 cash during the WFBF annual meeting in December.
