About us

~~The Missouri Young Farmers and Young Farm Wives organizations were formed in 1969. The organizations involve adults in educational and leadership activities at the local, district, state and national levels. Membership in the organizations is open to persons of any age. State activities include a two-day convention in February, a 2½-day agricultural tour in August and participation in the Governor’s Conference on Agriculture.

- Most chapters are tied in with their local adult Ag education program. The adult ag ed teacher serves as a advisor to the chapter, but the extent of the activities are completely up to the members of the chapter. Activities can include things such as educational classes, factory tours, fund raisers, social events, agricultural promotion, and much more. Many of the Chapters have recently changed their name to "ag leaders" instead of "young farmers" to help promote the fact that you do not have to be a farmer or young to be a member of this organization, there are activities that people from all walks of life can take advantage of.
