Gather Together with the Best and the Brightest

Young farmers and ag professionals leave motivated and to ready apply the real-world knowledge and skills they have gained at the conference on their farms and business and in their schools, careers, local Farm Bureaus and communities.

Testimonials

“I had the opportunity to attend the 2018 National Farm Bureau Young Farmer and Rancher Conference in Reno, Nevada. I had a great experience networking with young farmers from around the country, learning about their stories and farming practices. While attending the conference, I sat in on several breakout sessions educating attendees about several important topics facing American agriculture and family farms today. Also, I had fun creating many great memories with amazing friends from Huntington and Purdue University and the Indiana State Young Farmer Committee. For my first time being that far west, I will definitely go back to see more! A special thanks to Indiana Farm Bureau for letting me be a part of this great learning opportunity.”
