Promotion & Education

Promotion & Education

The goal of the Promotion and Education program is to educate Michigan consumers about agriculture through working with children and schools and coordinating public outreach programs to promote and educate about agriculture. In addition, the Promotion and Education program strives to educate farmers on issues impacting agriculture.

Telling the farmer's story and making a difference in agriculture at the county level makes Farm Bureau's Promotion and Education Committee an exciting and progressive program.  Here is a chance to make new friends, meet people from a variety of backgrounds, and engage in dynamic activities that demonstrate the importance of modern agriculture in today's society.  For more information please contact Susan LeCronier at (989)496-3536.
