The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) has announced the members of the next Wisconsin Agriculture Youth Council.
These students will be high school seniors during the 2024 – 2025 school year.
Council members include but are not limited to Max Luedtke from Beaver Dam, Lydia Marquardt from Eau Claire, Makayla Staudinger from De Pere, and Mathew Winch from Fennimore.
“I am confident they will be strong members of the council and utilize their communication skills and agricultural knowledge to actively engage in the sessions,” said DATCP Secretary Randy Romanski.
Members will meet each month of the school year during their one-year term.
The council membership was selected after an application process.
The goals of the Wisconsin Agriculture Youth Council are to highlight agricultural-related careers, share resources available for farmers, provide insight into agricultural policy development, and increase networking opportunities for participants.
