The objective of the Auburn University Young Farmers Committee is to establish a college group that will serve as a source of recruitment for production agriculture and the county Young Farmer Committees. This organization will also serve as a way to allow those who are training to be Alabama's agricultural professionals to be exposed to the Farmers Federation. Being introduced to the Young Farmers Division and the Alabama Farmers Federation while in college, the graduates will take their leadership experience with the Federation to whatever career path they choose.
