Award applications due in August
Taking Note
Applications for the Indiana Farm Bureau Young Farmer Excellence in Agriculture and Achievement awards are available at www.infarmbureau.org under “Programs” and then “Young Farmer Homepage.”
The agriculture award recognizes young farmers (age 18-35) who do not earn the majority of their income from an owned agricultural operation but who contribute and grow through their involvement in Farm Bureau and agriculture. The winner will receive a John Deere Gator, $3,000 and paid expenses to the national convention.
The achievement award is for farmers who must earn a majority of their income from production agriculture and who set a positive example for others. The winner will receive $6,000 and 250 hours of use of an M-Series tractor and paid expenses to the national convention.
Application deadline is Aug. 1 by midnight. For more information, call 1-800-FARMBUR ext. 7846.
