AFBF wins award with ambassador outreach

Silver award for AFBF’s social media engagement

By Farms.com

The American Farm Bureau Federation’s (AFBF) innovative approach to engaging young agricultural leaders has earned it the Power of Associations Silver Award.

Through its Social Media Ambassador Program, AFBF leverages the voices of Collegiate Farm Bureau members to amplify the significance of its leadership conference and the broader goals of the organization.

Ambassadors, selected for their dynamic social media influence, play a crucial role in documenting and sharing the enriching experiences of the annual conference.

This initiative not only boosts visibility for AFBF’s mission but also actively involves young leaders in a narrative of growth and community contribution.

AFBF President Zippy Duvall commends these young leaders for their commitment to showcasing the critical learning and networking opportunities available at the conference.

The program significantly aids in their professional and personal development while simultaneously advancing the Farm Bureau’s outreach objectives.

The award, coordinated by the American Society of Association Executives, celebrates AFBF’s effective use of social media to foster significant industry and societal advances.

The recognition spotlights the crucial role of associations in driving professional and community development, set to be honored at a gala in Washington, D.C. This accolade underscores the AFBF’s commitment to cultivating a new generation of agricultural leaders through innovative and inclusive strategies.

In today’s pork industry, producers are under increasing pressure to do more with fewer inputs—while maintaining performance, improving animal health, and meeting sustainability expectations.

we sit down with Sylvain David and Scott Preston from Olmix to explore how seaweed-based solutions are emerging as a foundational tool in modern swine nutrition.

Rather than acting as simple alternatives, these solutions are designed to support gut health, immune resilience, and overall system consistency—especially during key stress periods like weaning, feed transitions, and disease challenges.

The conversation dives into:

• What seaweed-based solutions actually are and how they work

• Why consistency and standardization matter in “natural” products

• How gut health connects to immune function and performance

• Where producers are seeing real-world impact today

• The role of natural solutions in the future of sustainable pork production
