For those Community Action Groups wishing to submit responses to the discussion questions electronically, simply type your answers into this form and choose submit. By submitting electronically, both Michigan Farm Bureau and your county Farm Bureau will receive a copy of your answers, eliminating the need to mail in a paper copy.
