Farm Bureau Annual Meeting

Katie, Pete, Justin, Caitlin, and I headed out on some slippery roads to visit with Kevin Papp and the Farm Bureau gang for their annual meeting on November 22nd.  Upon arriving Caitlin and I went to a session about family farms.  Caitlin and I were both very impressed and found that the speaker really hit home.

We then headed to the luncheon where we would hear from Kevin Papp, and see the final round of the Young Farmers and Ranchers discussion meet.  

I especially enjoyed the discussion meet.  It was very interesting to see how these people were very informed into what was going on in agriculture, and what we can do to increase the support and involvement of the young generation into agriculture, a problem that we as FFA members face every day.

This was a great day to see the everyone from Farm Bureau and the Young Farmer and Ranchers.

Stationed by the Rising Sun,
