Local Farm Bureau celebrates 75 years of growth

DeWitt County Farm Bureau reached a record milestone this year— 75 years of continued membership growth at the local level.

The county’s leadership was recognized on stage before the nearly 1,200 Farm Bureau members in attendance at the Texas Farm Bureau 91st Annual Meeting in Round Rock this month.

“Agriculture has changed a lot over the past 75 years and so has Texas,” TFB President Russell Boening said. “We’ve gone from a largely rural population to a majority urban population, with fewer people involved in farming and ranching every year. But the leaders in DeWitt County have remained dedicated to keeping people engaged in agriculture and growing their membership the entire time.”
