Bannock County Farm Bureau is a volunteer
organization selected by farmers/ranchers
within the county to serve on their
behalf to be aware of legislative and
local decisions which could affect the
quality of life.
A group of individuals are elected by the Bannock County Farm Bureau
members to serve on the board of directors
to collaborate with Idaho Farm Bureau
in their efforts to promote the production
of agriculture and provide benefits
for its members and to serve as their
voice for legislative and regulatory
issues.
