County-farm bureaus across the state will take to Springfield in a week’s time to share their thoughts on state-level ag policy.  It’s all part of Ag Legislative Day, which is set for Tuesday, March 24.  Alec Myers, the Christian County Farm Bureau manager, says farm bureau representatives will hear from the governor and interact with a number of key legislators.

Myers says issues around ethanol and preserving family farms are expected to dominate discussions this year. 

Away from Ag Legislative Day, the Christian County Farm Bureau held a member appreciation event series.  The purpose was not only to pay tribute to the Farm Bureau’s members but also to present talks on topics important to them. 

The Farm Bureau’s membership total is around 1,500 people.  They include ag stakeholders from a variety of roles, ensuring every perspective is presented and heard.
