In the first episode of the year, News Bytes kicks off with host Amanda Powers, Director of Communications, sitting down with Christain Lewis of Allegany County. Christain serves as a County Young Farmers & Ranchers Chair and District 1 representative and shares how his 4-H background led him to leadership roles within Farm Bureau and beyond.Recorded in Angelica, NY, along the Genesee River, this episode dives into Christain’s work raising 100% grass-fed Red Devon cattle, his involvement with Soil & Water Conservation, and why Farm Bureau has been a gateway to advocacy, networking, and real leadership opportunities for young farmers. Christain also speaks candidly about mental health in agriculture, the importance of programs like Farm State of Mind, and how Young Farmers & Ranchers are building the next generation of ag leaders across New York State.
