YF&R to Washington
Each year Georgia Farm Bureau plans a trip to Washington D.C. for Young Farmer and Rancher members. It's an opportunity to meet with lawmakers, learn about the legislative process, and to share concerns and ideas pertaining to agriculture. The cost of this trip is free for YF&R members through an application and selection process. Applications will be released to counties & members in early November and due back in early January.
Harvest for All
Harvest for All is a cooperative annual YF&R service project to support the food banks across the state associated with Feeding Georgia. The goal of this initiative is to combat food insecurity throughout our state and in our communities. Be on the lookout for opportunities to serve in your district at service project events and at our YF&R Summer Leadership Conference.
