The Got To Be NC Festival is partnering with the Farm Credit Associations of North Carolina to honor farmers aged 18-40 this year through the Young Farmer of the Day program. The program celebrates our state’s agricultural future and three young farmers who are behind our state’s $103.2 billion agriculture and agribusiness industry.
“Developing our next generation of farmers is one of the most critical opportunities we have in agriculture today. Their ideas, adaptability to new technologies and commitment to developing efficient best practices for their farms will advance agriculture in ways we haven’t even dreamed yet,” said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler. “They are out there every day working hard to grow the food, fiber and fuel we need, and we look forward to recognizing their efforts at the Got To Be NC Festival in May.”
The Farm Credit Associations of North Carolina is a leader in developing the next generation of North Carolina farmers. From scholarships and financial services to educational events and leadership programs, their commitment to growing rural North Carolina has impacted our state for decades.
