Florida Farm Bureau Federation Inc

Youth education and participation is highly encouraged in our county on many different levels. Several members serve as teachers and leaders for our 4H and FFA students. At the county fair, volunteers put together a showmanship and husbandry clinic. These clinics help students learn valuable life lessons on the humane treatment of livestock. Through prize additions the Farm Bureau stresses the business aspect of agriculture.

Farm City Week is celebrated the week leading up to Thanksgiving. It is a time to highlight the partnerships between rural and urban communities. This outreach event helps us highlight how diverse agriculture is in Sumter County and the economic impact it has in our communities. This year the event was held at a local cattle ranch where attendees learned about the cattle business.
