TFB preps policy decisions for annual meeting

Body

Feral hogs, mountain lions, water and foreign ownership of agricultural land were among the topics of proposed policy resolutions discussed by the Texas Farm Bureau (TFB) Resolutions Committee Nov. 4-5 in Waco.

The committee, comprised of 41 TFB members representing Texas agriculture, spent two days reviewing, deliberating and consolidating more than 280 resolutions to both state and national policies proposed by county Farm Bureaus across the state.

The policy recommendations will be considered by TFB voting delegates during the business session of the organization’s 91st Annual Meeting Dec. 6-8 in Round Rock.

State resolutions adopted at the TFB annual meeting become policies that guide the organization. National resolutions, if adopted by voting delegates at the TFB annual meeting, are sent to the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) Resolutions Committee for consideration.

Resolutions supported by the AFBF Resolutions Committee and approved by AFBF voting delegates in January provide a roadmap for the national organization.
