Policy development is the most important
activity of the county Farm Bureau. It is an organized and on-going program of
gathering ideas and opinions from the members. The county Policy Development
Committee is responsible for editing, compiling, clarifying and submitting these
ideas for discussion and action at the county annual meeting.
Resolutions on
state and national issues that are suggested by the majority of voting members
at the county annual meeting are submitted to the state Policy Development Committee,
and resolutions passed concerning local issues become county policy. The State
Policy Development Committee then decides, by majority vote, which ideas are
to be submitted as resolutions to the voting delegates at the PFB annual meeting.
The voting delegates then decide, by majority vote, which resolutions are to
be adopted as PFB policy.
These resolutions are published in an official policy
book for the year and policies that are of national interest are then submitted
to the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) Resolution Committee and voted
on by voting delegates at the AFBF annual meeting. Adopted resolutions are then
published after the annual meeting in the AFBF policy book.
