NDFB Week 2024
NDFB Week was held March 10-16, 2024, to honor the agricultural contributions of county Farm Bureaus. The theme for this year was “Cultivate Your Future: Nurturing Growth, Sowing Innovation,” which is inspired by NDFB’s newly introduced membership category, the Student Membership. The theme emphasizes the importance of cultivating a sustainable and innovative future in agriculture. It aligns with NDFB’s mission to support and advance the future of agriculture.
