Outstanding county Young Farmers & Ag Professionals programs will be recognized at the 2026 Innovate & Grow Conference, presented by the Indiana Farm Bureau YF&AP program. The application process for the awards closes Oct. 31.

The awards program recognizes county YF&AP committees that have done an outstanding job of promoting agriculture and Farm Bureau in their counties.

Awards will be given to the top three county YF&AP programs.  Of the top three counties, the highest-scoring county program will be awarded $1,000 to take back to their county Farm Bureau. The two runners-up will be awarded an amount of $500 to take back to their county Farm Bureau. These funds will be allocated to improve an existing program or aid in the creation of a new YF&AP county program/event.

Counties also may be recognized for most volunteer hours and dollars and pounds of food donated to Feeding America.

Applications must be submitted through INFB’s website. Find more information by clicking here.

All the winning counties will be recognized at the Innovate & Grow Innovate & Grow Conference, to be held Feb. 20-22 in Indianapolis.
