In this episode of News Bytes, we sit down with Tom Denman, Associate Director of Membership Development and Engagement at New York Farm Bureau, to talk about how county annual meetings keep Farm Bureau’s grassroots spirit alive.

Tom shares what makes these local gatherings so important — from raising resolutions and discussing hot topics like solar and ag exemptions, to building connections among farmers, agribusiness leaders, and community partners. He also explains how every Farm Bureau member, whether farmer or food advocate, plays a vital role in shaping the policies that impact agriculture across the state.
