The American Farm Bureau Federation is excited to offer special programming for youth active in 4-H, FFA and Junior MANRRS at the American Farm Bureau Convention, Jan. 24-29, 2025, in San Antonio, Texas.
AFBF prioritizes supporting the next generation of agriculturalists and is proud to partner with organizations focused on cultivating those leaders.
With the theme of “Step Up, Drive Forward,” the 106th Annual Convention offers attendees unique insights on the policies and perspectives that will affect farms, ranches and agribusinesses in 2025 and beyond and will showcase how everyone, no matter their age, plays a role in the Farm Bureau family.
The free youth program, which will be held on Sunday, Jan. 26, runs from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and includes the convention opening and mid general sessions, time to explore the trade show, access to workshops, and a special training and panel discussion.
“The youth programming at convention allows 4-H, FFA and Junior MANRRS members to explore much of what Farm Bureau has to offer, but without the cost of a registration fee,” said Maddie Dvorak, AFBF assistant director of member engagement. “We hope the students’ time at convention leads to many more opportunities to engage with Farm Bureau as they hone their leadership and business skills and develop their future within our industry.”
Throughout their day-long experience, 4-H, FFA and Junior MANRRS attendees will also have the opportunity to meet with industry professionals, farmers and ranchers from across the country, learning about careers in agriculture.
