Unfair Charge on Tax Funds and Farm Bureau Divorce 1955
A reader protests claims that tax money funds the Farm Bureau. The letter explains in 1955 the legislature divorced the Farm Bureau from the Extension Service, with 4 H and Homemakers programs run by the Extension Service. It notes only rental ties remain and that Farm Bureau revenue comes from memberships and service operations. The author argues it would be unfair to charge tax dollars support for the Farm Bureau.
