     HONORING THE BUTLER COUNTY FARM BUREAU'S 100 YEAR ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. RON ESTES

                               of kansas

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 14, 2021

  Mr. ESTES. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 100th Anniversary 
of the Butler County Farm Bureau Association (BCFBA). Now, one hundred 
years later, BCFBA continues to offer advocacy, education, and service 
on behalf of those involved in an evolving food and agriculture system.
  Founded in 1921, BCFBA serves the agricultural and local communities 
by providing leadership on agriculture, natural resources, safe and 
nutritious food, educating school children about how and where food and 
fiber are grown, and informing legislators and the public on a broad 
spectrum of agriculture-related issues. The elected board of directors 
consists primarily of local farmers and ranchers who know how important 
it is to have the resources the Farm Bureau provides.
  Beyond their membership services, the Farm Bureau strives to educate 
the public about the vital role that farmers and ranchers play in 
feeding our country and the world. Butler County Farm Bureau's annual 
Farm to Fork and So Much More event allows people from all over Kansas 
to take educational tours of farms, ranches, orchards, wineries, and 
other agri-businesses while enjoying Butler County's beautiful Kansas 
scenery. This event, along with many other events the Farm Bureau 
offers throughout the year, highlights the connections between our 
lives and our state's agricultural community. As a result of their 
commitment, our fields grow richer, our abundance grows greater, and 
our country stands stronger.
  Please join me in congratulating the Butler County Farm Bureau 
Association on their centennial anniversary and wishing them continued 
success in serving Butler County for years to come.
