F.B. Heads Eye New Handling of County Farm Aid
Representatives of the 11 counties in the sixth Farm Bureau district discussed shifting county extension funds to the county treasury for direct payment to extension personnel. The plan aims to avoid the appearance of a Farm Bureau subsidy while noting the USDA study proposes separation of Farm Bureau and extension service. They warned separation could weaken education and cited last year’s $600,000 county Farm Bureau support for extension work. Also debated were steps to raise Farm Bureau dues from $10 to $15 amid rising costs and reserve fund usage.
