VIDEO: Smith Honors Nebraska Farm Bureau Centennial

Congressman Adrian Smith (R-NE) spoke on the House floor today to commemorate 100 years of the Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation.



Smith’s remarks:

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the centennial anniversary of the Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation, our state’s leading and largest farm organization.

Since 1917, Nebraska Farm Bureau has been a grassroots, statewide organization led by farmers and ranchers who work to enhance and strengthen the lives of all Nebraskans.

This federation of 85 county farm bureaus has more than 61,000 member families in all 93 Nebraska counties.

For 100 years, Nebraska Farm Bureau has united our state’s farm and ranch families under a common banner – doing together what they cannot do alone.

Through the power of their grassroots policy development process, Nebraska Farm Bureau remains the trusted voice for Nebraska farm and ranch families.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of Nebraska Farm Bureau’s existence, and we congratulate the organization and all of its members on reaching this important milestone.

We are excited for what the next 100 years have in store.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I yield back.
