Cheryl Tuck of the Montana Wheat and Barley Committee stated, "The Montana Wheat and Barley Committee directors have historically supported any programs that help get current, applicable information into the hands of young producers so they can not only put this information into practice on their own operations, but share this information with others. Strong agriculture makes for a stronger state economy." The Young Ag Leadership Conference is an annual conference designed for young agriculturist between the ages of 18 and 40.
