Young Farmer and Rancher Update Susan Wilkins, YF&R Vice-chair Fall is always a busy time of the year as we hurriedly harvest the last of the hay and corn before the threat of frost arrives. Fall also brings with it a flurry of Farm Bureau activity and this year is no exception. On Sunday, September 22nd, the Young Farmer and Rancher Committee will be hosting a picnic for all young farmers (and any other Farm Bureau members interested!) at Carnifex Ferry Battlefield State Park in Summersville. Drinks, meats, and paper goods will be provided. Please bring a dish and join us for an evening of fellowship. We will gather at 4:30 pm at Shelter 2. Families are more than welcome to attend as well! For more information, feel free to contact me at 304-651-8569. We also encourage everyone to contribute canned goods for our third annual Harvest for All food drive. We will collect the items during the Annual Meeting in Flatwoods November 8 – 10. H
