National Farmers Union Youth Advisors named

Six young adults have been elected to the Farmers Union National Youth Advisory Council (NYAC).  Andrew Cotter and Ali Slaughter of Wisconsin, Kiana Brockel, Jesse Carlson and Alexandra Farber of South Dakota and Karly Held of North Dakota will spend the next year representing Farmers Union youth at events such as the annual NFU Convention, Washington Fly-In and the All-State Leadership Camp.

National Farmers Union president Roger Johnson says the future leaders will represent their peers, learn about the legislative process and make presentations before members and the press as part of the experience.
