Among its many other objectives, the Christian County Farm Bureau looks to reach younger farmers and facilitate their involvement with the Farm Bureau and agriculture more broadly.  They do so through field trips, appearances at the Christian County Fair, and other fun events.  The Farm Bureau also does its part to raise funds for these efforts.

Kent Girard is a member of the Christian County Farm Bureau’s Board of Directors and also serves as chairperson for the Young Ag Leader group.  He plays a major role in these outreach endeavors, of which there are many.

Clint Epley, another board member and the director of the Farm Bureau, spoke about the Homegrown Heroes series.  In it, the Farm Bureau collaborates with the TommyTV program at Taylorville High School to spotlight local farmers and how they contribute to the community. 

The Farm Bureau is holding a golf outing to raise funds for the aforementioned outreach programs along with a scholarship.  The golf outing is scheduled for Saturday, March 8 at Lake Shore Golf Course in Taylorville.

As expected, the Christian County Farm Bureau will be ever present at the fair this summer.  They will be involved with the Ag Appreciation Luncheon as well as a booth at the fairgrounds.
