Members of the Fond du Lac County Farm Bureau will hold their annual meeting on September 16, at 7:30 p.m. at the Holiday Inn in Fond du Lac.  All Farm Bureau members are encouraged to attend this important meeting to help create policy resolutions and vote in elections for county board directors. Also being selected will be Fond du Lac County’s voting delegates for the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Annual Meeting in Wisconsin Dells this December 7-9.   As a grassroots organization, it is Farm Bureau’s members on the county level who set the policy goals of the state’s leading farm organization. The Wisconsin Farm Bureau is often asked to get involved in issues affecting production agriculture and rural Wisconsin both in Madison and Washington, D.C.  This fall, Farm Bureau members across the state will be forwarding resolutions on a variety of issues regarding agriculture, road weight limits, technical colleges, groundwater, invasive species, sustainability and Wisconsin’s state budget.   The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation is the state’s largest general farm organization representing farms of every size, commodity and management style.
