At the Illinois Farm Bureau Annual Meeting, the Young Leader Committee gives three coveted awards. The winners will advance nationally and represent Illinois at the American Farm Bureau Federation Annual Meeting in January.
Discussion Meet The Illinois Farm Bureau Discussion Meet is a mock committee meeting where young leaders are judged on the friendly exchange of ideas. Contestants compete in local competitions in the Fall. Several advance to three rounds of competition on the first day of IFB's Annual Meeting, to reach the final round.
And the winners are:
Excellence in Ag Award The YL Excellence in Ag Award recognizes outstanding individuals or couples whose primary interest is not in farming. Instead, we celebrate their leadership and hard work that contribute to the success of their committees, communities, and farm industry.
This year's winner is Alan Chesnut of Vermilion County.
Achievement Award IFB's Achievement Award recognizes young farmers for their involvement in Farm Bureau and their community. Their commitment to growing their farm is also acknowledged.
This year's winners are Kirk and Stephanie Liefer.
