Farm Bureau offers new collegiate membership

SACRAMENTO “ Inviting a new generation of members, the California Farm Bureau Federation (CFBF) has announced a new membership category for students between the ages of 16 and 25. The œcollegiate membership category is now available for students enrolled in a post-high school education program such as a community college, four-year university or trade school.

œThe new Farm Bureau collegiate membership provides an easy, inexpensive way for young people interested in careers in agriculture to connect with their peers, network with other Farm Bureau members and find their place within the farming and ranching community, CFBF President Paul Wenger said.

Collegiate Farm Bureau members receive access to an online version of Ag Alert®, the award-winning weekly newspaper covering California agriculture. Additionally, collegiate members will have access to scholarship information, internship opportunities and agricultural career information.

œIn order to continue to produce safe, nutritious food in the future, we need to encourage young people to pursue the full variety of agricultural careers, from actual farm and ranch production to lending to processing to communications and all other related fields, Wenger said.

An online application is available on their webiste at
