Preparing for Michigan Farm Bureau’s state-level Young Farmer Discussion Meet can be daunting. With five diverse topics and a wealth of resources online, it’s hard to know where to begin.
MFB’s State Young Farmer Committee wants to simplify your first step by bringing MFB staff experts into a conversation on each of our Discussion Meet topics. Keep an eye out for the remaining topics in future issues of Farm Gate.
TOPIC: Farm Bureau offers a diverse range of member benefits at the state and national levels.
