Who is your favorite agriculture youth leader? What could they do with a $2,000 award for their organization? Find out by nominating them for the 2019 Sav-A-Caf® Youth Impact Award. The award from Milk Products, maker of Sav-A-Caf® products, will recognize two leaders who encourage learning and a passion for agriculture in youth.

“Agriculture leaders play a vital role in shaping the lives of youth – the future of our industry,” MPL_YIA Award PR_Miller.jpgsays Dvir Frumkin, marketing manager for Milk Products. “Their dedication and talents do not go unnoticed and that’s why we’d like to recognize them for their efforts.
