The Achievement Award Program is designed to recognize those young farmers and ranchers that have excelled in their farming/ranching operations and honed their leadership abilities to superiority. The contestants will be evaluated on a combination of their farming operation growth and financial progress, Farm Bureau leadership, as well as leadership outside of Farm Bureau. In the required application and interview, the judges will be looking for excellence in management, growth and scope of the enterprise and self-initiative that has been displayed throughout the operation. A contestant's participation in Farm Bureau and other organizations is a definite point getter from the judges. The ideal candidate(s) for the Achievement Award is an individual or couple involved in production agriculture with a majority of their income subject to normal production risks. Applications are due to the AZFB office by 5 p.m., Friday, October 21, 2011.
