Grant Coffee, former Virginia Farm Bureau Young Farmer chair and a tobacco and small grains farmer in Lunenburg County, has been appointed to the American Farm Bureau Federation Young Farmers & Ranchers Committee.

While serving on the committee, Coffee will help plan the YF&R competitive events at the AFBF Annual Convention, identify programs and potential speakers for the AFBF YF&R Leadership Conference and take part in numerous committee meetings.

“Farm Bureau volunteer leaders, such as those selected to serve on national committees, are the backbone of our organization,” said AFBF President Zippy Duvall. “As advocates for today’s agriculture, they play an important role in building a greater understanding between farmers and consumers.”

Congratulations, Grant!
