Please join us for breakfast and a meeting June 5 at 7 a.m. at the Rusty Horseshoe located at 11 N. Main St., Mount Gilead.
The policies of Farm Bureau are the backbone of the organization. They provide the framework through which we advocate for family, community and food security. They help guide efforts to address real community issues — issues such as regulations, funding public education and services, environmental protection, animal care, health care, landowner’s rights and community planning. These policies are used to develop programs, projects and advocacy at the state and federal level, but just as importantly are used to help guide the yearly plan of work for Morrow County Farm Bureau volunteers.
Local/state elected officials as well as other community leaders were asked to provide input on the issues and policies they think need attention in our community. But we’d like your input on the issues as well. As a community council member or involved Farm Bureau member, your experience and perspective is appreciated and valuable to the organization.
Farm Bureau is a grassroots organization and without your involvement, the vitality of the organization suffers. Your ideas and participation will help create better policies and programs to not only improve the organization, but our community as well. By the end of July, the Farm Bureau policy development committee will take the input received by you and other local leaders and pen the policy resolutions, which will be voted on by the membership at our annual meeting. Those approved will go on to the state and then move on to the American Farm Bureau Federation.
If you would like to join us, please make your reservation by May 29, to [email protected] or call (800) 327-6055.
