Thank you for being a member and have a wonderful fall season

Hello. I know this is a busy season with everyone back to school and harvest on
the horizon, but we would appreciate you taking the time to check out what
Farm Bureau has to offer. This fall we have many great events coming up and I
hope that you can take advantage of them!
Our most exciting venture is the Evening at the Movies with Farm Bureau:
Farmland. This great documentary filmed 6 young farmers as they learn, expand
and go through a year making their farms successful. The counties are fortunate
to be able to hold a screening of this movie and hope that everyone can join us.
Also, don't forget about the new Polaris benefit and all the other great
opportunities to save by just being a Farm Bureau member. And if you have
things you would like to see the county do or if you would like to get more
involved, drop us a line at [email protected] or 877-775-7642!
Thank you for being a member and have a wonderful fall season! Until
next time just know Farm Bureau is working for you!
