Lorain County Farm Bureau recently donated over 70 copies of the ‘Book of the Year’ to area libraries in the county.

Knowing that horticulture is under the agriculture umbrella and having Farm Bureau supporting horticulture like it does the rest of ag is very important.
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.
