Collegiate Discussion Meet

The Collegiate Discussion Meet is a competition that simulates a committee meeting to analyze agricultural issues and develop solutions. Participants engage in active discussions, enhancing their leadership and communication skills. The discussion challenges participants to use their logical thinking and listening abilities to build collaborative solutions. Successful applicants are productive thinkers who help implement solutions and highlight Farm Bureau's involvement.

The contest is held at the annual Young Farmer Leadership Conference.
