Young Ag Professionals
Our young farmer programming provides community, leadership development, and professional growth opportunities for Farm Bureau members who are 18-35. Find out if there’s a Young Ag Professionals group near you.
Young Agricultural Professionals (YAP) are Farm Bureau members ages 18 to 35 who work either part or full time in Ohio’s largest industry. We’ve made it easy to meet others who share your passion for agriculture and stay connected all year long, with signature events like the Winter Leadership Experience and Washington, D.C. Leadership Experience, and programs like AgriPOWER. For students pursuing education in ag-related fields, there are a variety of scholarships available through our Foundation and county Farm Bureaus.
Check here to see if there is a YAP group near you. Find us on Facebook and sign up for our Growing our Generation e-newsletter for insights and ideas directly from young farmers.

As a member of Farm Bureau, I am glad that this organization takes action when necessary to protect and advance agriculture.
If you have issues with local planning or have legal questions, someone at the Farm Bureau has the answer for you, or they’ll connect you with someone who does.
Farm Bureau is an incredible organization that has given me countless professional development opportunities in addition to advocating for all sizes and types of farmers.
We go to a lot of Farm Bureau events, and there’s a lot of camaraderie built because you’re meeting with people who have similar interests and goals.
Through its policies it brings together people in the agricultural community and invests in building vibrant communities that support agriculture.
If it wasn't for Farm Bureau, I personally, along with many others, would not have had the opportunity to meet with our representatives face to face in Washington, D.C.
