Starting a YF&R Committee
California Farm Bureau Federation’s Young Farmers and Ranchers Program is designed for young people who share an interest in improving themselves and agriculture. The program is designed for ages 18 – 35. The three basic purposes of the program are:
- Assist young farmers and ranchers in solving problems they face
- Expose young people to Farm Bureau
- Develop leadership abilities in young men and women
The Young Farmers and Ranchers Program is a vital part of the Farm Bureau and structured as a committee on county, state and national levels. County Young Farmers and Ranchers develop their own program of work with assistance from the state office.
