Young Farmers & Ranchers
The Young Farmers & Ranchers Committee is a program for agriculturalists between the ages of 18 and 35 involved in production, banking, business, and many other areas of the industry. YF&R provides opportunities to develop leadership skills through involvement in Farm Bureau at the county, state, and national levels. YF&R members are a vital part of the organization. Each member’s efforts help California Farm Bureau to effectively represent the diversity of farmers and ranchers across the state.
Industry Tours
By taking part in a Contra Costa County agriculture tours, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for where your food comes from and how it’s produced. It’s an opportunity to engage with local farmers, discover sustainable practices, and connect with the land in a way that’s often overlooked in today’s fast-paced world. The tours provide an authentic, hands-on learning experience that is both educational and enjoyable for everyone!
