Utah Farm Bureau Holds Annual Convention
November 18-20 at Davis Conference Center
The Utah Farm Bureau Federation’s annual convention will focus on energy and climate issues, as well as the current economic conditions for agriculture at its annual convention, November 19-20, at the Davis Conference Center in Layton, Utah.
“We are really excited with the array of speakers and presenters we have at this year’s convention,” said Leland Hogan, President of the Utah Farm Bureau Federation. “The state of our local and national economy is certainly in the minds of everyone right now, and this convention presents the opportunity for great discussion on energy policy, animal agriculture, and private property issues and how we propose to go about solving these problems.”
Thursday’s agenda will feature reports from Utah Farm Bureau President Leland Hogan and CEO Randy Parker, in addition to Mark Maslyn, Executive Director of Public Policy for the American Farm Bureau Federation, who will add to the discussion on the challenges that will face American agriculture in the coming year in light of current economic challenges from national and international forces.
Following Maslyn will be the presentation of the Aldo Leopold Conservation award which is sponsored by the Sand County Foundation, the Utah Farm Bureau, WesternAg Credit and the Utah Cattlemen’s Association. Amanda Smith, Director of the Utah Department of Environmental Quality, will address the convention and help Farm Bureau present the award which honors farmers and ranchers dedicated to the conservation and wise stewardship of Utah’s natural resources.
