Crawford County Farm Bureau held its annual meeting Sept. 10, at Reinhard Farms. Howard Cole provided music during dinner.

The Crawford Farm Bureau 2023 Annual Meeting minutes and 2022-2023 fiscal
year financials were presented and approved. Other business included trustee and delegate elections, and policies were voted on and approved. Melinda Sellman was inducted into the Crawford County Ag Hall of Fame, and scholarship recipients Sophia Beck and Addison Lust were recognized.

County Farm Bureau volunteers were recognized and programs and accomplishments from the last year were reviewed and celebrated. Organization Director Abra Dunn and OFBF Regional Trustee Rose Hartschuh provided remarks.

The 2025 OFBF state annual meeting delegates elected to serve with the president and vice-president are CeCelia Von Stein and Lydia Feik. Kayle Roe, Alissa Cramer, CeCelia Von Stein, Keith Ehmann and Doug Foreman were elected to serve on the trustee board.

Above all, the county Farm Bureau Board of Trustees is the heart and strength of the organization. Locally there are 16 trustee seats on the board. Agriculturalist members or Young Ag members, or their spouses, whose dues are paid, are eligible for the office of trustee. All trustees must live, work, or have an active agricultural interest in the county.

There are six open seats on the Crawford County Farm Bureau board. Trustees are asked to attend board meetings, serve on committees with other volunteers and help direct the work of the county Farm Bureau.
