I think there is a lot of varibility and perspective depending on who you talk to for which county and which state. I've been a county director for 8 years, 2 terms of elected county office, and serve on some of the state committees. One of the greatest problems with Farm Bureau, and its greatest strength is it depends on the individual members. People have to be willing to step up and stand up. Our county board is older, and not as active as I would like. We would love to appoint some more younger directors, they say 'yes I would like to join' but when you talk about commitment to service they fade away.

A third of the offices in his Distrct were closing, no way he can please all his constituents, and ultimately thats what he is supposed to do.

To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
