Letter to the editor

Dear Editor,

I am writing this letter to invite you and everyone reading this to get to know a little bit about Montana Farm Bureau Federation. We were established in 1919 to make the business of farming and ranching more profitable and Montana a better place to live. We continue working towards that goal everyday.

We are an organization striving for greatness in everything agriculture related in these crazy times we are living in.

We treasure all of our members and their thoughts and ideas, and this is where all our policies come from, our members. We are a grassroots organization and you the members are the backbone of this organization. We enjoy networking with our members and other like minded people and organizations.

We promote accurate ag education in our schools and support many youth projects throughout the year. There are many continuing educational and professional certification opportunities through MFBF and we would love to have you come and check us out. Your voice maybe the one needed to expand our advocacy work for a thriving agricultural community here in the state and also on a federal level as well.

And did I mention all the member benefits there are? There are hotel discounts, Grainger, CAT, Ford, car rental discounts, discounts on insurance and so much more.

Our MFBF Summer Conference is in Miles City June 10-12 and it’s been quite a number of years since it’s been on this side of the state. I encourage you to come and check it out. There are going to be fantastic speakers, educational workshops, and a wonderful Foundation fundraiser dinner on Tuesday evening. Go to the MFBF.org website to register or call on any of your local PRCCFB board members to learn more.

Sincerely,

Darcia Patten

Dist #5 Director & PRCCFB VP
