Collegiate Discussion Meet
A committee-style competition that tests your critical thinking, collaboration, and communication on ag issues. INFB’s winner earns a $1,000 scholarship and represents Indiana at the national Collegiate Discussion Meet during the AFBF FUSION Conference (or Young Farmers & Ranchers Conference on rotating years).
Travel & Professional Opportunities
Washington, D.C. Trip (annually in September): Go behind the scenes at USDA NASS to see how crop reports are secured before release; meet AFBF policy experts; visit Congressional offices; network with leaders; and cap it off with a moonlit monuments tour. While we haven’t taken this trip annually in recent years, the opportunity may return soon for a select number of students from each chapter.
National Conferences: A national gathering with professional development, production ag, technology, communications tracks, and farm tours. INFB coordinates travel for a select number of students from each chapter. Chapters can fundraise to send more members.
