The New York Farm Bureau's Young Farmers & Ranchers (YF& R) Program has identified two basic needs of young farmers: Leadership and Social. There are three groups of young farmers that participate in programs & activities: Young Farmers – Single/non-parents, Young Farmers with Families and our Young Farmers youth programs (FFA/4-H/Collegiate Students). The NYFB YF&R Program works with these identified young farmer needs and target groups to develop future programs and activities.

To assist county Farm Bureau YF&R committees in developing programs, a Young Farmers & Ranchers Program Guide is available.
