PCFB finalist up for state award
Polk County Farm Bureau (PCFB) was recognized as one of the top county Farm Bureau programs in the state during the organization’s 80th annual convention held on Jekyll Island Dec. 3-5.
The county chapter was named a finalist for the prestigious McKemie Award - the highest honor that a county Farm Bureau in the state can receive - in recognition of the activities it sponsored during the past year to promote agriculture.
PCFB was one of 10 county Farm Bureaus to be rec- ognized as a finalist in the medium membership category. James Casey is the PCFB president.
Founded in 1937, the Georgia Farm Bureau Federation is the state’s largest general farm organization with 158 county chapters. As a membership-driven, nongovernmental organization, GFB serves as the voice of Georgia farmers and rural Georgia by advocating for them on legislative issues and promoting Georgia commodities. Its volunteer members actively participate in activities that promote agriculture awareness.
