Travel and Professional Opportunities

Washington, D.C. Trip

During the Collegiate Farm Bureau trip, which is held each September, participants have the opportunity to go behind the scenes at the USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service headquarters to see the special security measures taken by the Agricultural Statistics Board to lock up (protect) corn and soybean statistical reports before they are released to, and move market prices around, the world. 

The trip also includes receiving Farm Bureau policy updates from the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF); congressional visits; networking opportunities with USDA, AFBF and other ag and non-profit professionals; AND sightseeing--a moonlight monuments tour is a one of the trip highlights.
