New Jersey Farm Bureau YF&AP Officers


Rebekah Alstede grew up as the second generation at Alstede Farms in Chester, NJ. Throughout her experience in agriculture she has been involved with Farm Bureau at the state and national level and additionally at the collegiate level at Delaware Valley University where she continued to compete at the national Discussion Meet. She is currently finishing two degrees in Agricultural Business and Sustainable Agriculture and plans to take over ownership of her family farm.
