National Farmers Union Convention underway
In his State of the Farmers Union address to kick off the 112th National Farmers Union Convention in Santa Fe, New Mexico, President Roger Johnson said it will be at this meeting during the policy session where members decide what the organization stands for.
“It is that policy from the members, from the grassroots that helps us influence public policy and it’s also the members that keep the leadership focused and that’s why I said membership matters and we’re focusing on that,” Johnson said. “We have to do a better job of getting our message out and the way you do that is to get more members excited and energized and telling us what to stand for.”
In addition to a number of breakout sessions and the election of NFU President and Vice President, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack will be at the National Farmer Union convention on Monday, March 10.
