Applications are available for county Farm Bureaus to enter the County Activities of Excellence Awards (CAE) program. The CAE recognizes up to 25 successful county Farm Bureau programs from across the nation.

With a focus on Farm Bureau’s priority issues, the CAE program groups county activities into the following areas: Education and Ag Promotion, Member Services, Public Relations and Information, Leadership Development and Policy Implementation.

Winning counties will be announced Oct.15 and will present displays about their activities at the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) annual meeting tradeshow, Jan. 13-16, 2013, in Nashville, Tenn. They will also receive $2,250 toward expenses incurred through participation in the CAE program at the annual meeting.

County Farm Bureau applications must be received at Ohio Farm Bureau Federation’s office no later than Aug. 31, 2012. Applications can be downloaded from the AFBF website.
