Letter From The President
The
Bosque County Farm Bureau welcomes members committed to the advancement of
agriculture and the proliferation of the rural way of life and the values
that accompany it. Members
are not required to be directly involved in the production of agriculture.
The Bosque County Farm Bureau serves as the “Voice of
Agriculture” for Bosque County. It
was chartered in 1950 and has been highly involved in protecting the
welfare of farmers and ranchers on local, state and national levels.
We provide a wide range of benefits to our members that are both
attractive and cost-effective. For more information, please contact the local office.
A few of the ways that Bosque County Farm Bureau represents the
farming and ranching industry are listed below:
“The Bosque County Farm Bureau is part of a much larger
organization of both state and national levels.
All decisions and actions taken are arrived at by a locally elected
board of directors. The
directors are individuals who are fully involved in and committed to
production agriculture.
The Farm Bureau is a “grassroots”
organization. Ideas and
concerns always begin at the county level and can be addressed by members
during the annual meeting held each October.
Resolutions addressed and voted on at the county level are
forwarded for state level consideration.
This process is one of the reasons why Farm Bureau is so powerful.
The members have a voice!!
We are highly involved at both the state and
national levels protecting and influencing legislation that affects
production agriculture and Bosque County Farm Bureau Members.
Dues collected and money raised are spent to promote agriculture
and the rural way of life.
“We wish to thank all members and potential members for caring to
support and encourage this backbone of American Life.”
-- Alan
Day, Bosque County Farm Bureau
President
