Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) Secretary-designee Randy Romanski recently announced the creation of the new Wisconsin Agriculture Youth Council.
The purpose of the Youth Council is to encourage young people to engage with state government and increase their awareness of DATCP’s role in Wisconsin’s agriculture industry.
The Council will be comprised of 15 Wisconsin high school seniors from across the state who represent a variety of interest areas in Wisconsin’s agriculture industry.
In its first year, the Wisconsin Agriculture Youth Council will meet each month beginning in September.
These monthly virtual meetings will feature presentations by DATCP staff on a variety of topics, breakout sessions, and opportunities to rotate through leadership positions within the group.
A final all-day session will be held in May.
The application and additional details are available at AgYouthCouncil.wi.gov.
