The Leon County Youth Livestock Show Association (LCYLA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting education and engagement in agriculture among the residents, particularly the youth, of Leon County, Texas, and surrounding communities. The association achieves its mission through annual public fairs and exhibitions that showcase various aspects of farm life, including agricultural techniques, livestock, and homemaking skills. These events, supported by local agricultural agents and youth organizations like 4-H, FFA, and FCCLA, offer demonstrations, contests, and recreational activities to encourage youth participation and education in modern agricultural practices.

The LCYLA also supports agricultural education by providing scholarships and funding for educational institutions and research organizations. It aims to advance the science of agriculture by financing research that benefits the public and contributes to the development of new agricultural industries in the area. Additionally, the association encourages volunteer involvement in activities that enhance community infrastructure and agricultural resources.

Furthermore, the LCYLA is committed to improving the quality of life in Leon County through support for local organizations, maintaining public facilities, and engaging in charitable activities, all while ensuring compliance with the regulations governing nonprofit organizations under the Internal Revenue Code.
