Is your "plate" full of things you don't really want to eat? 🍽️

It’s common for farm families to wear a lot of “hats.” Usually, an off-farm job, farm responsibilities and a slew of volunteer and family-related commitments. A full plate, if not heaping.

WFBF Promotion and Engagement Committee members are in Washington, D.C. this week attending American Farm Bureau Federation's Target Training. 🎯

Target Training focuses on inspiring and equipping farmers and ranchers to successfully convey the significance of agriculture and bridge the gap between field and fork.

Brenda, Kari and Clara have already explored purpose-driven leadership, value-based messaging and building relationships with consumers. The conference will continue with more training, tools and resources to enhance WFBF's P&E efforts.

We look forward to the tools and resources these committee members will bring home from Target Training!
