LINCOLN—One way the Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) supports the next generation of ag leaders is through the Nebraska Agricultural Youth Council (NAYC), a group of college students working together to share their passion and knowledge about agriculture with young people across the state. NDA is proud to sponsor NAYC and announce the 2022-2023 Council members.
The primary focus of NAYC is to coordinate the annual Nebraska Agricultural Youth Institute (NAYI), a five-day summer conference for high school juniors and seniors with speakers, workshops and networking opportunities. NAYI is in its 52nd year and is the longest running event of its kind in the nation. It is made possible through the donations of many generous sponsors.
2022-2023 NAYC leadership members are:
• Head Counselors: Jadyn Fleischman (Herman); Ethan Kreikemeier (West Point);
• President: Taylor Ruwe (Hooper);
• Secretary: Kendra Loseke (Blair);
• Vice President of Communications and Social Media: Madison Kreifels (Syracuse);
• Vice President of Alumni Relations: Logan Hafer (Long Pine);
