2022-2023 Safety Poster Contest
Kansas Farm Bureau sponsors the Safety Poster Program in an effort to reduce farm accidents by encouraging youth to think "safety-minded."
The theme this year is “Farm Safety: Know Your Limits.” Suggested topics include: Emergency Preparedness, Livestock, Heat Stress and Hydration, Roadway Safety and Hearing Safety. These topics will also be the focus of the 2019 Agriculture Safety Awareness Program (ASAP) Week so winning posters may be used to promote that annual event in your county as well.

Speak Training
Montgomery County Farm Bureau Board of Directors invited all FFA & Collegiate Farm Bureau Students to join us for Speak Up Agvocacy training in 2018 and 2019.
The goal of this training is to help students understand how they can help educate consumers and spread the positive message of what agriculture is doing for our world through better conversations and social media interaction.
