Annual Banquet Feb. 18th, Marketing Seminar Feb. 19th

This year's Payette County Farm Bureau Federation Annual Banquet will be held at the Ontario Elk's Lodge #1690 on February 18th starting at 7pm. Tickets to the banquet are $15 each, and are available from board members, as well as the county office. Get your tickets early! This is going to be a great meal, at an unbelievable price. One of our speakers will be a representative from Alta Mesa to update us on the drilling and construction tied to the oil and gas industry locally. Additionally, someone from the Legislative Affairs Committee will have an update on relevant legislation in the Statehouse this session.

There will be a Marketing Seminar the following day, February 19th, from 10am until 2pm, at the FMTC boardroom in Fruitland. Lunch will be provided. This training will cover various topics in the marketing area, as well as some GrainBridge training, if needed.

Class Dismissed. Open Candidate Forum runs late.

The 'Meet the Candidates' event this evening in New Plymouth turned out really well. We had almost seventy attendees, and the cookies held out until the end. We went nearly an hour over, but there was a lot of great discussion.
