Farm Bureau Incorporated news


The Putnam County Farm Bureau Inc. board while most of them have been sitting on a tractor or combine have been looking to the future.  The most pressing of which are the Elections coming up for our District 5 Director at our District meeting in November at the Beef House. Incumbent David Wyeth will be seeking re-election against former director Rita Sharma.  We follow that with the Indiana State FB Convention at the Indianapolis Convention Center where we will be electing the next State President from the current list of candidates, David Wyeth, Donnie Lawson, Joe Kelsey, and Randy Kron, and depending on how that goes possibly some of the offices under that.  After that some of us will venture to Orlando, Fl. for the National Convention in January where a new National AFBF President will be elected.  Current Indiana FB President will be running for that seat.  Our legislative update sessions will once again be held on the 3rd Saturdays of Jan., Feb., and March.  We are also beginning to prepare for next year's Annual meeting and Ag Day which will be happening in March.   This December we will also be setting up a luncheon for our area Superintendents to meet with our Legislators.  We are always open for ideas for new programs and would entertain any new ideas to assist the farmers in Putnam County.
