SUMMARY:YL District Discussion Meet
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce our 2021 Young Leader District Discussion Meet.  The event will take place Tuesday\, July 19th at the Bureau County Farm Bureau office at 1407 N Main Street\, Princeton.  Orientation will begin at 5:30 with the meet beginning at 6:00 p.m. \nThe Farm Bureau Discussion Meet is a competitive event\, designed to simulate a committee meeting where discussion and active participation are expected from each participant. This competition is evaluated on an exchange of ideas and information on a pre-determined topic. Participants build basic discussion skills\, develop a keen understanding of important agricultural issues\, and explore how groups can pool knowledge to reach consensus and solve problems. Successful participants are productive thinkers rather than emotional persuaders and assist the group in creating ways to implement the solutions discussed and highlight Farm Bureau’s involvement in those actions/steps. \n  \nTopics for District Discussion Meets include: \n  \n\nHow can Farm Bureau effectively support and equip young farmers and ranchers to successfully manage economic and infrastructure challenges to ensure healthy and sustainable farms and ranches across the country?\n\n  \n\nDue to current economic demands\, many farmers and ranchers spend a lot of time outside the “fence rows” on off-farm jobs. How can Farm Bureau become more accessible and welcoming to members who are working in related fields and juggling responsibilities on and off the farm?\n\n  \nThe Discussion Meet is open to Farm Bureau members between the ages of 18-35.  If you are interested in participating contact the Farm Bureau office before the date of the event. \n  \n  \n
