Farm Bureau meeting is Wednesday in Gardiner

Organizers of a new North Olympic Counties Farm Bureau, representing farm and ranch families in Jefferson and Clallam counties, host an organizational meeting for Farm Bureau members and other interested residents on Wednesday, June 28 in Gardiner.

The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. at Gardiner Community Center, 980 Old Gardiner Road.

The formation of the North Olympic Counties Farm Bureau marks the 25th county Farm Bureau in Washington state. Former dairyman Roger Short of Chimacum serves as president of the new organization.

Each county Farm Bureau is affiliated with the Washington Farm Bureau (WFB), a grassroots advocacy organization representing the social and economic interests of Washington farmers and ranchers at the local, state and national level.

Robyn Meenach, WFB vice president for legislation, will attend the organizational meeting on behalf of the Washington Farm Bureau.

With more than 34,000 member families, Washington Farm Bureau is the largest general farm organization in Washington.
