In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Tennessee General Assembly has limited access to the Cordell Hull Building in Nashville. Therefore, Tennessee Farm Bureau leaders are unable to visit and meet with lawmakers like they typically would, but that didn’t stop county leadership from adapting.
Several counties and volunteer leaders across the state conference called and zoomed lawmakers to discuss issues important to agriculture and rural Tennessee. We appreciate the effort our grassroots leadership made in communicating the importance of agriculture to decision makers, and also the voice of agriculture Tennessee Farm Bureau has had in decision making for the past 100 years.
