2024 MOFB YF&R Conference
Welcome to the 2024 Missouri Farm Bureau YF&R Conference!
February 9 - 11, 2024  ·  Margaritaville Lake Resort

We look forward to seeing you at the upcoming Young Farmers and Ranchers Conference! This is one of the nation’s largest state YF&R Conferences. We hope you’ll come prepared to learn a lot and have a great time! 


Registration is 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM on Friday, February 9, in the Lower Lobby. You will receive your name tag, which will be required for entry to conference events, at registration.  Download the conference app (EventLeaf Guide) to access all necessary conference information.

 


Attire: Conference dress is casual. Friday will be RED FRIDAY so come in your CHIEFS gear (or RED) to show your support and help pump up RED KINGDOM as the CHIEFS head to Nevada!

Many attendees choose to “dress up” or come in costume for the Saturday evening theme night dinner. This year’s theme for Saturday evening is 70's Night. All Discussion Meet participants should dress in smart casual attire for the contest.


 

Entertainment: Friday evening will include District "Get Acquainted" sessions and live music entertainment on the 5th Level. Following dinner Saturday evening we will have Trivia Night. Cost for Trivia Night is $5/person.

 


Kid’s Sessions: There will even be a couple of short sessions for children, ages 3 and up, presented by the Promotion & Education Committee. However,

please be aware that there are no babysitting services available. 

Any child attending conference meals must have meal tickets in order to eat. You can pre-purchase tickets for children or purchase them when you arrive Friday during registration. Meal costs for the children at the conference will be $15/meal. 

Please remember that while this is a family-friendly conference, our targeted age is those 18-35. Due to this, some children's sessions are offered but will be limited, and no babysitting services are available.


Fill-A-Ford Food Drive: Missouri Farm Bureau has partnered with Ford Motor Company to help put an end to food insecurity across the state with a "Fill-A-Ford" event.

Bring 5 cans of non-expired food (or other non-perishable items) or $5 per person to the 5th level Friday Night to be entered in for a chance to win a "Taste of Missouri" basket. We have a goal of collecting 2000 cans of food to distribute across the state to local food banks. Ford will also donate $2 for every 5 cans donated.


The hospitality area will be set up on the 5th level and will have many booths and displays. The hospitality area will be open on Saturday from 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. Check-in to three different breakout seminars to be entered for a chance to win the Grand Door Prize.


Margaritaville has a waterpark! Farm Bureau YF&R Conference attendees will receive a $5.00 discount off of the daily rate (2 years and under are free). Margaritaville also provides free Wi-Fi to all guests!
