We use this event as an opportunity to increase understanding, cooperation, and relationships between rural and urban residents. Agriculture is constantly misunderstood and improvements can be made by understanding issues. Ag Literacy programs are important in our effort to provide agriculture education to our local schools. Okaloosa County Farm Bureau holds various events to help in achieving this goal. AgVenture field trips are held each fall to teach agricultural awareness to school aged children. We also read an age approriate book highlighting various commodities which help illustrate how important agriculture is to every one of us. 'A Day on the Farm' is an on-farm event that allows us to celebrate local members while raising awareness of agricultural production. This year attendees learned about where their food and clothing comes from when they visited a peanut and cotton farm. This event was held to bring community awareness of the importance of agricutlure in Okaloosa county so we can continue to work towards the betterment of those engaged in agriculture. 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 1 3 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 FL X Molly Peavy 8506823536 921 W James Lee Blvd Crestview FL 325365136 X Nick Marshall Director 4 X 0 0 0 Shannon N Nixon VP 5 X Keith L Free President 5 X Gerald Edmondson Sec/Treas 1.5 X Andrew Baber Director 4 X Joshua Lake Director 4 X Steve Wooten Director 4 X 0 0 0 Membership Dues 813910 127095 127095 A Day on Farm 813910 3490 3490 YFR/Women's Committee 813910 734 734 Membership Refund 813910 22622 22622 153941 2559 2559 17853 17853 17853 17853 12433 13006 -573 -573 Service Fees 561499 180559 180559 S/T Collected 561499 1016 1016 Adjuster Reimbursement 561499 600 600 182175 355955 153941 181602 20412 132026 10247 6050 10027 38777 12260 13602 5742 FFBF Membership Dues 65129 A Day on the Farm/AgVent 9875 Equipment Rent & Lease 5686 Dues & Subscriptions 3249 6060 318730 X 31590 43632 203885 242045 3224 3677 586852 305849 294305 281003 533004 570357 2613 2741 1000 1000 3613 3741 X 529391 566616 529391 566616 533004 570357 37225 X 0 0 0 1 1 0 8700 8700 534946 265665 269281 7286 5917 1369 35920 34267 1653 281003 Rent Deposit Held 1000 1000 Part 6, Line 6 Okaloosa County Farm Bureau is a membership based organization.
