Kentucky Tornado Challenge
We challenge our Madison County Farm Bureau members to donate to the relief fund to help Kentucky Farmers. We have seen mass devastation and there is a need to help those affected. Our Board has pledged $250 to this cause and hope that our members will join us in donating. The funds raised will go to the Kentucky Farm Bureau Education Foundation – “Kentucky Relief Fund”.
There are many efforts happening to gather materials and send truckloads down to help, but a concern they have is making sure those materials are used. Money can always be used and can be diverted into areas with the most need.
If you wish to donate, please send a check made out to the Madison County Farm Bureau to our county office with “Kentucky Tornado Challenge” in the memo line by February 28, 2022.

If it wasn't for Farm Bureau, I personally, along with many others, would not have had the opportunity to meet with our representatives face to face in Washington, D.C.
Through its policies it brings together people in the agricultural community and invests in building vibrant communities that support agriculture.
If you have issues with local planning or have legal questions, someone at the Farm Bureau has the answer for you, or they’ll connect you with someone who does.
As a member of Farm Bureau, I am glad that this organization takes action when necessary to protect and advance agriculture.
Farm Bureau is an incredible organization that has given me countless professional development opportunities in addition to advocating for all sizes and types of farmers.
We go to a lot of Farm Bureau events, and there’s a lot of camaraderie built because you’re meeting with people who have similar interests and goals.
