Young Leaders
Outgrown your FFA jacket, but not your love of agriculture?
Don't worry. You don't have to give up that wonderful combination of good times and great opportunities. Illinois Farm Bureau's Young Leader program tackles the unique needs of men and women 18-35 years old, who have passion for all aspects of agriculture. Whether you're a farmer, seed sales rep, or ag professional, you'll discover new friends, business and networking opportunities, and ways to make a difference in your own backyard...and around the world.
Contact the office today to get started in your membership, and with Young Leaders!
