Verbatim:

We're the Searle family, and we farm near Burley, Idaho. The crops we raise are...

Hay, corn, wheat.

What about... Hyram… What do we grow? Can you say potatoes? Potatoes.

And sugar beets. And beef cows.

I'm Azdyn. I'm Daesha, and this is...

Hay and Music.

And Jace, and we are the Bartschis.

We live in District One. We're from Montpelier, Idaho. We grow alfalfa and raise beef cattle, and we also run a fencing business and a furniture store.

Hi, I'm Kyle. And I'm Macee. And we're the Nordas.

We have two kids, Kimber and Cannon.

We live right here south of Idaho Falls, and we're your District 2 representatives. Our fun fact is that we're really not that interesting, and it's like the 30th take for a 20 second video. Definitely.

I'm Hunter Hesselgesser. I'm Whitni Hesselgesser. We're the District 3 YF&R chairs.

And we live here in Malta, Idaho, and we have four kids. We have Heston, Quade, Monroe, and Opal.

I work on a ranch in Snowville, Utah, and then I buy and sell stock cows here and there for myself. And then...

I'm at home with the four kids and homeschool two out of the four so far, and it's a lot of fun.

And the fun fact about me is my mom's Brazilian and I'm half Brazilian. I speak Portuguese and Whitni speaks Spanish. And so when we don't want our kids to know what we're talking about, we speak in Spanish or Portuguese.

Hi, I'm Justin Roberts. And I'm Taylor Roberts and we're the District 4 wife and our chairs. We are located out here in Weiser, Idaho. We have been members of the Farm Bureau for five, almost six years and we love this organization.

I work at a feedlot for my day job and on the weekends and evenings and whatever free time I have. I also have my family on their farm and ranch.

And I'm A stay-at-home mom to our three awesome kids, and I also coach basketball up at the high school and middle school.

Hello, I'm Sterling Meldrum. This is my wife, Riata Meldrum.

We're your YF&R District 5 chairs, and we live in Moscow, Idaho.

I work for a farm that grows wheat, garbanzo beans, and Timothy hay.

And I'm a law student at the University of Idaho College Law.

Our fun fact is that I grew up in Texas where it's flat enough that you can watch your dog run away for three days and then I married an Idahoan and we live on the Palouse where your dog is gone in three minutes.

We're excited to be a part of this committee.
