Education & Safety - Overview
We believe the best way to teach people about the important role agriculture plays in all our lives is by educating our children. But our education efforts don't stop at educating about agriculture. We provide scholarships and a variety of other learning opportunities through the work of the NDFB Promotion & Education Committee.
Youth Leadership Conference - This conference is an exciting opportunity for 6, 7 and 8th graders to learn about their leadership potential. Young people in attendance have an opportunity to not
• Learn more about their leadership style
• Explore career ideas
• Learn how to resolve conflict
• Take an “after dark” business tour
• Meet new friends from across the state.
The conference is held in conjunction with the Young Farmers & Ranchers Leadership Conference each January.
Food, Land & People - The hands-on lessons of this program are objective in content and promote the development of critical thinking skills so that students can better understand the interrelationships among the environment, agriculture and people of the world. NDFB coordinates FLP workshops for the North Dakota Ag in the Classroom Council.
Teacher Resources - The P&E Committee provides teacher resources to help educators achieve their required standards and benchmarks.
Scholarships - The P&E Committee oversees a variety of scholarships to help those not only studying for careers, but for those who are attending college to change careers. Click here for information on the scholarships.
Safety - Through education, North Dakota Farm Bureau's safety program helps thousands of individuals become more aware of a variety of dangers on the farm and in the household.
Whether you are 7 or 70, or somewhere in between, being safety-smart will never go out of style. North Dakota Farm Bureau's safety program, administered by the organization's Promotion and Education Committee, and carried out through a network of outstanding volunteers, is designed to be educational and fun.
North Dakota Farm Bureau's Always Be Careful on the Farm (ABC) program was developed in 1991. Since then thousands of children have been trained.
