We celebrate American agriculture.
DTN/Progressive Farmer’s America’s Best Young Farmers and Ranchers program recognizes the next generation of entrepreneurs who are building potent agricultural businesses and who bring positive change to their communities.
Now in its 16th year, we are looking for the next class of America’s Best Young Farmers and Ranchers.
Nominate someone below or complete the application for yourself.
America’s Best Young Farmers and Ranchers accepts nominees who are 40 years old or younger in calendar year 2025, who demonstrate innovation and imagination on their farm or ranch.
Five young farmer or rancher honorees and their guests receive an all-expense-paid, three-day trip where you will meet industry experts and exchange ideas about business development, markets and how to build a strong family unit on the farm or ranch.
Each honoree will receive a plaque and be recognized in a special publication of Progressive Farmer magazine and online.
