Delegates travel to Chicago for annual meeting



Coles County Farm Bureau will have three voting delegates at the Illinois Farm Bureau annual meeting this year in Chicago. The meeting will be held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel Dec. 6-9.

The delegates will be reviewing recommended policy resolution changes and new resolutions submitted from county Farm Bureaus across Illinois. County Farm Bureaus may submit new resolutions and changes to existing ones throughout the year. A state committee consisting of one voting member from each of the 18 Illinois Farm Bureau districts, Action Team committee member, four IAA Board of Directors, 2 alternates, one Young Leader Committee member, and five advisory County Farm Bureau Managers then review the submittals for presentation to the voting delegates at the annual meeting.

Resolutions submitted cover a wide range of topics and subjects directly involving agriculture and other related public issues. Any resolutions involving national matters are forwarded to the American Farm Bureau Federation for consideration.

Areas that have a new or rewritten issue are Natural Resources, State and Local Government, and Agricultural Production/National.

During the annual meeting there will also be breakout sessions ranging from Ag-In-The-Classroom to retirement options. There will also be a live auction and a silent auction along with an ice cream social.

PrimeTimers Program

The PrimeTimers program will be held Dec. 18 at 11:30 a.m. This program will be held at a new location and will will be listed in next week’s paper. Debra Reed will be speaking on the history of agriculture in Coles County. Please RSVP the Farm Bureau office at 345-3276.

Mary Cox is the manager of the Coles County Farm Bureau.
