New Farm Bureau

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

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

The North Olympic Counties Farm Bureau would be the 25th county farm bureau in Washington.

Former dairyman Roger Short of Chimacum will serve as president of the new county Farm Bureau.

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

Robyn Meech, 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.
