Your County Farm Bureau board at work

Your FB board met tonight with local zoning officials and a commissioner to discuss our current zoning language. The main objective is to allow the sale off of Homestead residences without the loss of farm ground. These existing homes could be sold without the 10 acre minimum if our ideas are heard. We also discussed controling the density of new homes in A1 properties.
Joe Mann, Steve Cash, and David Greenburg attended the state FB policy meeting this past Saturday to help shape Farm Bureau's direction when the legislators go back to work.
Steve Cash attended the Candidate Surfacing meeting last Friday where attention was given to the need to surface candidates with an Ag background to protect the rights of the local farmer. A candidate training school is coming up in November.
The board set the date for its annual meeting as Feb. 28 provided all the details can be worked out.
Plans will soon be in the works for the upcoming Legislative session with plans for a meeting between county superintendents and school boards and our legislators along with scheduling our Legislative Update sessions for the 3rd Saturday in Jan., Feb, and March.
