Youth Activities
Youth Leadership Conference
Each year, Fayette County Farm Bureau sponsors one or more students from
local
high schools to attend the Texas Farm Bureau Youth Leadership Conference
(formerly the TFB Citizenship Seminar). They
join other
high school juniors and
seniors from more than 150 counties across the
state. The purpose of the seminar is
to provide the students with a better
understanding of
their American heritage and the capitalistic free enterprise system.

youngsters
about agriculture in Fayette County and Texas.
