Every year Ross County Farm Bureau holds a policy breakfast meeting in the spring with members and elected officials for ideas and discussion concerning agricultural policy for local, state and national issues. These policies are presented at the county annual meeting. Approved policies are then presented to all local, state and federal legislators. Because of COVID-19 and the restrictions of public gatherings, Farm Bureau is opting for this alternative method for member input.
Please share any concerns Farm Bureau should address on any issue at the local, state or national level. Some examples include: energy, water quality, voting, pandemic preparedness, economy etc.
