New York Farm Bureau (NYFB), the State’s largest agricultural lobbying organization, is very excited to partner with 4-H to provide complimentary NYFB Student Memberships for High School Juniors & Seniors who are 4-H members.
NYFB recognizes that the future of the agricultural industry in New York is dependent upon engaging youth who are interested in pursuing agricultural careers. NYFB wants to provide these youth the opportunity to be involved in supporting the agricultural industry by being a NYFB Student Member. New York Farm Bureau has a Young Farmers & Ranchers Program which develops leadership skills while providing educational, social, and community service opportunities.
In order to receive a complimentary student membership, 4-H members who are Juniors and Seniors will need to register for this membership on their own.
Student members will receive a NYFB Membership card, a monthly copy of the NYFB newspaper “Grassroots” and information by email related to young farmer activities and the Agricultural Youth Scholarship Program.
Membership can be found here. If you have questions on NYFB Student Membership and the Young Farmers & Ranchers Program, more information can be found on the NY Farm Bureau website.
