(Madison) The deadline to apply for the state’s agriculture youth council is fast approaching. The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection is reminding students they have until the end of the month to apply for the Wisconsin Agriculture Youth Council.
Applications will be accepted through March 31. High school students who will be seniors during the 2024-2025 school year are eligible to apply. The council is comprised of up to 15 Wisconsin high school seniors from across the state. Council members participate in monthly virtual sessions during the school year to listen to presentations, engage in discussions, and connect with professionals across the agriculture industry.
Students will serve a one-year term and receive a certificate for their involvement. The four goals of the Wisconsin Agriculture Youth Council are to highlight agriculture-related careers, share resources available to farmers, provide insight in agricultural policy development, and increase networking opportunities for participants.
Council members will rotate serving in four leadership roles to gain additional experience. A link to apply and to additional information is available HERE.
