GFB Young Farmer Program
The purpose of the Georgia Farm Bureau Young Farmer and Rancher Program is to contribute to the overall effectiveness of the Georgia Farm Bureau by providing leadership, educational, and social opportunities, thereby preparing and enabling young adults to become more active members and to assume additional roles of leadership and responsibility within county, state or national Farm Bureau organizations.
Members of the 2009 GFB Young Farmer Committee are: (pictured L-R by couples) Committee Chairs Lanair & Kristi Worsham, Cory & Lori Johnson, Jason & Jentsie Johns, William & Heather Cullpepper, Matt & Melissa Bottoms, Cody and Lora Lord, Clay & Brittany Talton, Vice Chairs John & Ivy Lowrey, Sam & Dana Nash & Mace & Christy Henry.
Every year, the GFB Young Farmer Committee sponsors the Georgia Farm Bureau State Farm Tour, spotlighting outstanding and unique agricultural enterprises around the state. Click below to see pictures from this year's tour.
