Specialists on issues concerning agriculture share information about the challenges and successes of the industry. Farm PAC has been instrumental in electing candidates, both Republicans and Democrats, who share our philosophy on issues affecting agriculture and rural California. Every year, the Young Farmers and Ranchers lend their support to help Farm PAC achieve its goals. One aspect common to all Young Farmers and Ranchers activities is the opportunity to meet people. Whether you are participating on the county, state, or national level, there are others who share the same challenges and successes that you do.
