Who we are

Illinois Farm Bureau's Young Leader program tackles the unique needs of men and women 18-35 years old, who have passion for all aspects of agriculture. Here at Peoria County whether you’re a full or part-time farmer, ag professional, college student, or supporter of the industry, there is a place for you in Young Leaders.

The Farm Bureau Young Leaders Program is a group of passionate individuals committed to agriculture, leadership, and community involvement. We meet on the second Monday of each month for an evening that combines great food, meaningful conversation, and opportunities to grow. Our group focuses on building connections, volunteering, and giving back to our local community. Young Leaders play an active role in supporting county Farm Bureau programs and events, while also creating a space to socialize and network with others who share an interest in agriculture. These events include the State Young Leader Conference, Young Leader Ag Industry Tour, Discussion Meet, Young Leader Achievement Award, Young Leader Excellence in Agriculture Award, and several county Young Leader award programs.

Whether you're looking to get more involved, expand your network, or make a difference in your community, the Young Leaders Program is a great place to start.
