What would we do without our farmers?

As we celebrated 2026 National Agriculture Week, our county Farm Bureau Federation went into our county’s schools and read an ag book, and talked about how agriculture affects our everyday lives.

Then, we donated the 2025 American Farm Bureau Book of the Year ‘I Love Blueberries’ to each of the local elementary schools and to the William B. Harlin Memorial Library.

Such fun for us to get to interact with the students and talk about a subject that we are passionate about!
