 Maryland Farm Bureau can celebrate some real homegrown winners from the November 6th General Election results. Nine Farm Bureau leaders who have served on county Boards - as presidents, on the state board or as state president - were elected to office this week.
The Farm Bureau family is so proud of our members who are using their talents and expertise to serve the larger community! Good government starts with good people, and Marylanders will be well-served with these folks in public office. Learn more about the elected members here. |
