The Natural and Environmental Resources Department was formed to motivate and assist Farm Bureau leaders with their action on and reaction to environmental issues confronting agriculture. Many of these issues have far-reaching implications in the environmentally conscious world in which we live.
Environmental groups are very vocal and have extensive funds at their fingertips.
Farm Bureau must be prepared to meet these challenges. Each county should have an active NER committee so that the avenue to resolve environmental problems is smooth and uncluttered. The Farm Bureau NER Department is working to reduce the cost of farming by giving current information to members concerning opportunities as well as potential problem areas.
