Wisconsin Farm Bureau Annual Meeting and YFA Conference
The annual meeting brings together Wisconsin farmers, agriculture business professionals and supporters to discuss top issues impacting agriculture.
One of the most important items of business at each WFBF Annual Meeting is the grassroots policy development process. County Farm Bureaus elect voting delegates who will participate in a resolution session during Monday’s program to establish policy positions to guide WFBF staff throughout the year.
Information about the 2024 WFBF Annual Meeting and YFA Conference will be available late summer 2024.
