The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation supports opportunities for Young Farmer and Agriculturist members to make a difference in their communities.

Over the weekend, District 9 YFA members came together to pack grab-and-go snack bags for farmers. The goodies were paired with a reminder that their hard work is appreciated and no one farms alone.

We are proud to invest in engaged leaders who make Wisconsin agriculture strong.

Earlier this fall, Brenda Dowiasch from the Promotion and Engagement Committee hosted a Gather Wisconsin display at Outlaw Farms LLC Fall Fest.

Brenda talked with consumers about what influences their food purchases and agriculture. It was a perfect day to connect with food, families and farming. And, everyone went home with a delicious treat! 🍎
