Leadership

New York Farm Bureau State Young Farmers & Ranchers Committee

The State Young Farmers & Ranchers Committee consists of an elected representative from each of the 11 regions, an elected chair (who also sits on the NYFB Board of Directors) and up to three at-large members. District representatives serve a two-year term, and at-large positions serve a one-year term. Collegiate Chapter presidents are ex-officio non-voting members of the State YF&R Committee. These individuals help to coordinate events and activities in all counties within their regions. If you have questions about NYFB’s YF&R Committee, please email Bailey Coon.
