The Florida Farm Bureau Federation Achievement Award Program is designed to recognize young farmers and ranchers that have excelled in their farming/ranching operations and honed their leadership abilities to superiority. The YF&R Achievement Award has been presented annually at the Florida Farm Bureau Annual Meeting in October. The contestants will be evaluated on a combination of their farming operation growth and financial progress of the operation, FB Leadership, as well as leadership outside of Farm Bureau.
