"Farm Bureau is very excited to offer this full tuition opportunity to a member who is interested in developing their leadership skills and learning about ways to support and strengthen South Dakota," said Krystil Smit, SDFB Executive Director. "SDFB is dedicated to providing opportunities for future leaders in agriculture and this is a way to invest in our members who are engaged in farming or ranching to take part in this unique program.
