Are you a young farmer or rancher involved in agriculture full-time? Or do you own/work for an ag-related business?

Then you could take home cash prizes AND a new truck or ATV through our Young Farmer & Rancher contests! And we have some NEW prizes this year!

The Outstanding Young Farmer & Rancher contest recognizes those who are actively engaged in farming or ranching full time.

The Excellence in Agriculture contest is for those who are involved in agriculture but don’t make the majority of their income through production agriculture. Eligible applicants include farm store managers, crop consultants, ag teachers and others.

Applicants for both contests must between 18-35 years of age.
