Pursuant to state law, some documents may be available to members. Other Part III, Line 4a - Policy Development - The organization promoted the issue surfacing and issue prioritization process getting members to participate through electronic or paper surveys. The Board of Directors uses this information to come up with policy positions for the organization, followed by the voting delegate who represents the County Farm Bureau position at the statewide policy development conference. Throughout the year, legislative town halls are attended to advocate for agriculture. Legislative meetings and policy educational sessions were hosted for members both in person and virtually throughout the year. Other Part III, Line 4b - Agriculture Education - The organization supports higher education by offering scholarships to Farm Bureau members for children that further their education beyond high school. The organization sponsored local young farmer members to attend the Iowa Farm Bureau Young Farmer Conference to assist members with leadership development, educational opportunities in the fields of conservation and commodity markets. The county has an Agriculture in the Classroom (AITC) program, where students from local schools and libraries participated. The countys Agriculture in the Classroom Coordinator reached students across the countys schools, providing hands-on lessons in each participating classroom. We also host Ag Days at the Jones Dairy Farm every spring for all schools.
