CANTON -- St. Lawrence County Farm Bureau earned five Silver Key Awards at the New York Farm Bureau State annual meeting recently.
The Silver Key Awards are presented to county Farm Bureaus that have exhibited excellence in a variety of categories relating to effectiveness in policy implementation, promoting agriculture amongst the public and in classrooms, leadership development, and membership building.
The awards won by St. Lawrence County Farm Bureau were for excellence in the categories of membership, agriculture promotion and education, information and public relations, leadership development, and policy development and implementation-state and national.
While at the annual state meeting, farmer members also took part in the grassroots process of laying the groundwork for the year ahead. More than 100 delegates from across New York proposed, discussed and voted on resolutions that set NYFB’s public policy agenda for 2014.
They also heard from a number of state leaders including State Senator John DeFrancisco, Assembly Agriculture Committee Chair Bill Magee and Dean Kathryn Boor of Cornell CALS. Keith Eckel, Chairman of Nationwide Insurance, also spoke about the successful partnership between Nationwide and New York Farm Bureau.
