Young Farmers and Ranchers

This is how farmers, ranchers, and agribusiness professionals become leaders. The Young Farmers and Ranchers (YF&R) program is made up of young Farm Bureau members looking to be better at what they do and meet people in the industry.

YF&R on the Road

YF&R On the Road brings young farmers and ranchers together each summer to explore agriculture across Nebraska. Traveling to a new region each year, the event offers behind-the-scenes tours, opportunities to connect with others, and a chance to see agriculture across the state.

YF&R Committee

The Young Farmers and Ranchers Committee is our think tank, our inspiration hub, our connection to the fresh ideas and vibrant energy that young leaders bring to Nebraska Farm Bureau. This is where you can make a real impact, shaping our State YF&R Program and steering the future of Farm Bureau leadership.
