The Maryland chapter of the American Farm Bureau was well represented at the federation's 93rd annual meeting in Hawaii, according to The Star Democrat.
Attracting roughly 7,000 participants, the meeting titled "Navigating the Waves of Change" was attended by the Maryland Farm Bureau's president, first vice president and vice president. The delegation, which included members, heard praise for the chapter's achievements with membership and its strong record of programs for members last year.
"We were very pleased to be honored in four of five program areas," president Patricia Langenfelder told the publication. "We might be a small state, but our staff and leaders do an excellent job. We also received the Navigator Award for outstanding membership growth."
Federation president Bob Stallman presented her Langerfelder with awards for agricultural education and promotion, leadership development, policy implementation and public relations.
Voting delegates at the conference in Honolulu early last month advocated for farmers who have been or will be victimized by revenue losses that climb to catastrophic levels by capitalizing on a flexible combination of tools that help meet requirements of fiscal responsibility, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation.
