HUSTLE TO FLORIDA FOR THIS SUMMER’S 2023 JRA ROUND-UP

Make plans to join us for the 2023 JRA Round-Up to be held July 10-15 in central Florida. Members will experience local agriculture, participate in team-building exercises and explore the white sands of a Florida beach!

Save the dates of July 10-15 and start making plans! The five days in central Florida will be jam-packed with both education and fun! Site visits will highlight the key commodities of the region’s agriculture as well as industry partners that assist in advancing agriculture. You’ll visit one of the largest commercial cattle operations in the United States, see citrus orchards and packing houses, visit an award-winning dairy operation, tour the oldest family-owned premium cigar maker factory in America, explore the university lab for tropical aquaculture and spend some time exploring the beach!

Team challenges and individual contests will showcase participants’ knowledge of cattle production and evaluation. The JRA annual meeting provides an opportunity to guide continuous improvement for the organization and elect the 2023-2024 board of directors. And, the entire experience is a chance to create friendships and memories of a lifetime.

FROM 2022 ATTENDEES ...

“Kids should attend JRA Round-Up because they will get the opportunity to learn things not only about the cattle industry, but also the ag industry in general in parts of the country that they’ve never been to. It’s learning things that you want to learn and seeing things that you never thought to look for.”

— Jenna Cox, Washington

“I decided to attend Round-Up because I had heard about it while attending the Young Stockman Program. I had wanted to attend for a while and finally was able. I was so happy I did. I would definitely recommend juniors to attend. The friends you meet, the memories you will take home and all the things you will learn during this week will be with you forever!”

— Gracie Rogers, Missouri

“Kids should attend Round-Up because it’s such an amazing opportunity to travel and see things you don’t normally see within your local agriculture. You also get to meet new people and share new experiences that you will remember for a lifetime.”

— Mackenzie Forbes, Washington

“Round-Up has been really impactful in the relationships I’ve made, choosing my future career and how to be a leader in the agriculture industry. Juniors should attend Round-Up because they will make friends that will last a lifetime. What you will learn and the people you will meet at Round-Up is invaluable.”

—Taryn Cox, Washington

“All JRA members should attend Round-Up at least once! You get the opportunity to connect with other junior members from around the country and create friendships over your love for red cows!”
