Bandera County Farm Bureau President Booker Young and his wife, Connie, attended the 88th Texas Farm Bureau (TFB) Annual Meeting Dec. 3-5 in Corpus Christi.
They joined nearly 700 voting delegates from County Farm Bureaus across the state to discuss the latest agricultural issues, including livestock, private property rights and foreign ownership of agricultural land; the recognition of top county Farm Bureaus, their leaders and individuals who make a difference in agriculture and Texas; and evaluation of the organization’s policies.
County delegates voted on proposed policy changes during the meeting’s business session the final day of the meeting.
Farm Bureau policies reflect the needs of local farmers and ranchers and direct the state’s largest general farm organization.
Approved recommendations on national policies advance to the American Farm Bureau Federation annual meeting scheduled for January in Atlanta, Georgia.
