Legislative Luncheon January 22, 2009


Last year more than a hundred legislators, farmers, and other members attended this year’s luncheon.  Addison County Farm Bureau contributed a busload, courtesy of Bourdeaus’ and Bushey, local feed dealer from Middlebury.  “We really appreciated Jim Bushey’s effort to get more farmers to this luncheon and over to the State House,” said Addison County Farm Bureau president Bill Scott.  Following the meal, a number of members visited the legislature where the debate on buffer zones around streams and other waterways was continuing.

Plan on attending the annual Legislative Luncheon in Montpelier, VT. This is a great opportunity to discuss issues with your legislator, pay a visit to the state house and review the 2009 Legislative Priorities.





Folsom to serve on the Nationwide Board Council


Vermont Farm Bureau President Jackie Folsom has been named to the Nationwide Board Council, following Vermont Farm Bureau’s new sponsor relationship with Nationwide.

“This will be a unique opportunity for us to learn more about the Nationwide organization, and give their leaders greater insight into Vermont Farm Bureau and our members’ needs,” said Ms. Folsom.  

She joins leaders of 16 other top farm and cooperative organizations who serve on the Board Council.  It meets quarterly with members of Nationwide’s board and senior management to promote better understanding of issues important to agriculture and the insurance industry.

 “Our Nationwide Board Council encourages communications between leaders at Nationwide and our customer organizations,” said Terry McClure, Nationwide board member.

Board Council programs promote interaction among council representatives, Nationwide board members and senior staff, said Mr. McClure.  “Their meetings feature a blend of presentations and discussions addressing both agriculture and insurance,” he said.

 “We look forward to Jackie Folsom being part of our Board Council, and keeping us attuned to Vermont Farm Bureau,” said Mr. McClure.
