Montgomery County Farm Bureau
Montgomery County Farm Bureau is a grassroots organization designed to unite farm and ranch families for the purpose of analyzing their problems and formulating action to achieve educational improvement, economic opportunity and social advancement.
Levi Clubine is currently serving as the District 3 Representative for the State Youth Farmers and Ranchers Committee.
Levi lives and farms in Montgomery County, where he operates a cow/calf operation, marketing replacement heifers and herd bulls. He raises corn for silage while raising wheat and soybeans for forage, and provides consulting services for grassland producers. Levi recently returned to the farm full-time and enjoys building his operation and working with fellow producers. Levi has served on the Beef Committee, participated in Leadership KFB and Casten Fellows, and is currently serving as the vice chairman of his local county Farm Bureau board.
