Excellence in Agriculture
The Farm Bureau Excellence in Agriculture Award Program is designed as an opportunity for young agriculturalists to earn recognition, while actively contributing and growing through their involvement in Farm Bureau and agriculture. Participants will be judged on an application and PowerPoint presentation detailing their involvement in agriculture, leadership ability, involvement and participation in Farm Bureau and other organizations (i.e., civic, service and community). The ideal candidate(s) for the Excellence in Agriculture Award is an individual or couple who are non-production agriculturalist(s) that promote the agricultural industry through their daily work routine. Application is due to the AZFB office by 5 p.m. on Friday, October 21, 2011.
