Cheynne County Farm Bureau honored for policy implementation
Kansas The farmers and ranchers of the Cheyenne County Farm Bureau have been honored with Kansas Farm Bureau's Award for Excellence for policy implementation. The county Farm Bureau organization was recognized Nov. 9 at Kansas Farm Bureau's 89th annual meeting in Manhattan. The policy implementation award is part of the KFB Awards for Excellence, designed to recognize volunteer farmer/rancher commitment to agriculture and rural communities. Policy implementation activities offer a voice for volunteer Farm Bureau producers through support of public policy proposals beneficial to agriculture and rural communities. "The hard work undertaken by the Cheyenne County Farm Bureau lies at the heart of our efforts to advocate for agriculture and our rural communities," said Steve Baccus, an Ottawa County grain producer who serves as president of Kansas Farm Bureau. "This award is reflective of the talent, dedication and passion that volunteer Farm Bureau members feel for an industry that is more than just a business--it's a way of life worth preserving." The Awards for Excellence recognize county Farm Bureau organizations for outstanding achievements in developing and implementing efforts that advocate for agriculture and meet their members' needs. The Awards for Excellence also offer a method for county Farm Bureaus to work together to share creative and innovative ideas. County Farm Bureau organizations compete in a membership category of similar-sized county organizations. ------CUTLINE------ The Cheyenne County Farm Bureau earned Kansas Farm Bureau's Award for Excellence in policy implementation in 2007.
