Committees

The Knox County Farm Bureau has three committees for our members to get involved in. 

Those committees include:  Young Farmers Committee, Womens Committee, and Prime Timers Committee.  These are a great way to meet people with common interests and get involved in the community while promoting agriculture.
 
If you are interested in joining any of the committees please contact the Knox County Farm Bureau Office at 342-2036.

Young Farmers
The primary goal of the Young Farmers Committee is to promote safety on and off the farm as well as community involvement, agriculture education, and leadership opportunities. The YF Committee serves as a place for FB members 35 and younger to socialize, participate in community events, educate the public about agriculture, and become better citizens.
