Summer is a busy time for farm bureaus across America, and the Shelby County Farm Bureau is no exception.  They have events all season long both for farmers and interested community members alike.  In addition, the Bureau is always looking for new members to join their ranks, and they look to make registering as seamless as possible. 

Most notably on their radar is the Shelby County Fair, which this year runs from July 20-24.  Bureau manager Kenzie Stewart says they will be running an ice cream trailer and giving out T-shirts to 4-H participants. 

The Bureau is also preparing for a golf outing.  It’s set for Saturday, July 12 at Eagle Creek Golf Course.  The event is their biggest fundraiser of the year. 

The Shelby County Farm Bureau recently completed its tractor drive, back on June 7.  Stewart calls the event a major success.

Member of the Farm Bureau gain access to unique benefits.  And as Stewart describes, it’s not necessary to be a farmer to join the organization. 

Applications are available at their offices at 1361 State Highway 128 in Shelbyville or online at www.myifb.org.  More information on the Shelby County Farm Bureau can be found at www.shelbycofb.com.
