“My goal in Iowa has been to get more young people involved at the county Farm Bureau level,” says Trampel. “By sharing experiences and learning from each other, we can uncover new opportunities. Through involvement in Farm Bureau’s Young Farmers and Ranchers Committee, I’m eager to learn from peers nationwide and create a supportive environment where young farmers feel connected and heard.”
