Three Iowa farmers younger than age 35 received Young Farmer Leadership Awards, the Iowa Farm Bureau announced Tuesday. The award, created in honor of former Iowa Farm Bureau President Bob Joslin, recognizes young farmers who “contribute to and demonstrate leadership within their communities and agriculture.” This year’s recipients were Josh Bierbaum of Cass County, Matthew Burt of Marshall County and Ryan Gibbs of Delaware County. Each winner will receive a $2,000 grant to give to a nonprofit of their choice and an expenses-paid trip to the 2024 American Farm Bureau Convention in Salt Lake City.
