Applications are now available for the Wisconsin DATCP’s Agriculture Youth Council.
The goals of the council are to highlight agricultural-related careers, share resources available for farmers, provide insight into agricultural policy development, and increase networking opportunities for participants.
Those selected will serve a one-year term and will meet virtually every month of the school year to listen to presentations, engage in discussions, and connect with professionals across the agricultural industry.
Applicants will be asked to share information about their current involvement in agriculture, future education or career plans, a brief essay, and a one-minute video.
Owen Moore of Two Rivers calls the Agriculture Youth Council, “a unique opportunity to strengthen personal agricultural literacy, develop a state-wide, comprehensive understanding of DATCP, and build lasting connections with industry leaders to serve future goals.”
The DATCP says students who will be seniors during the 2026-2027 school year should apply.
More information and applications can be found at datcp.wi.gov.
