Iowa Farm Bureau Federation - Webster County

Public Policy Promoted the issue surfacing and issue prioritization process by getting members to participate through electronic surveys. Webster County Farm Bureau Board of Directors met with the Webster County Supervisors, County Engineer and Auditor to review the budget and lobby for additional funding for county rural roads and bridges. The county board of directors also lobbied our state and national level legislators several times throughout the year at a local town hall meeting and via teleconferences on such issues as property tax relief, water quality, infrastructure, and veterinary. The Webster County Farm Bureau also invited nearly 2000 members to attend the Webster County Annual Meeting at the Opry House in Fort Dodge. The members were then given the opportunity to elect the board of directors and review the audited financial reports.
