Farm Bureau Election - Outcome

I’m humbled to announce that I was elected to the Georgia Farm Bureau Board of Directors. Holding this position has been a goal of mine for several years. Making it successfully across the finish line was a complete team effort. We have been campaigning for most of the last year, but the last 3-4 months were more intense. Julie was beside me the whole way, supporting me, speaking to people on my behalf, and ensuring that everything we did was held to the highest standard. The kids all represented us well and helped in every way possible. The entire Farm Bureau, from people we recently met to old friends from years ago, embraced us in a way that felt really special. In fact, President Tom McCall told Atticus after the election that the Farm Bureau is a family organization and that he (and the rest of the family) was always welcome to be a part of the activities. I'm excited to be representing the farmers and Farm Bureau members of the 3rd district. Our mission is: "As the voice of Georgia farmers, we will enhance the quality of life for producers and consumers by being the champion of agriculture." Board members come from a variety of agricultural backgrounds, but I have a unique perspective that will further diversify the voice of this organization. There is an excellent collection of people in that room who love agriculture. I am proud to add my voice to that room now. I feel like I am not only representing District 3, but I also feel like I'm representing you, the customers who have supported us for years. I will do my very best to represent you all well.
