Current high school juniors can apply now for the next Wisconsin Agriculture Youth Council. The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) will accept council applications through March 31.
The Wisconsin Agriculture Youth Council meets virtually each month of the school year to listen to presentations, engage in discussions, and connect with professionals across the agriculture industry. Students who will be seniors during the 2025–26 school year are encouraged to apply.
The goals of the council are to highlight agricultural-related careers, share resources available for farmers, provide insight in agricultural policy development, and increase networking opportunities for participants. Members serve a one-year term on the council.
New in 2025, the application form is electronic to streamline the process for students. Through a brief essay and one-minute video, applicants must share information about their current involvement in agriculture and their future education or career plans.
Council members will receive a certificate at the completion of their term. To access the application and additional information, click here.
