Ross County Farm Bureau held its annual meeting last August, and the members in attendance voted to make changes to the county code. One of the changes was a decrease in the number of board trustee members from 15 to 12.
During the annual reorganization meeting in November, the Ross County Farm Bureau board of trustees elected members to serve as board officers. The newly elected officers for 2023 are:
Vice President – Greg Wells
Treasurer – Ryan Slaughter
Secretary – Delma Rouleau
The president’s office is voted on in the spring of each year with the president-elect taking over the duties at the county’s annual meeting in the fall. Currently, Kaitlyn Meeker serves as the county Farm Bureau president.
