Policy Development
The process for the Nov. 29-30 delegate sessions includes:
-
Discussion time is 15 minutes per policy.
-
Scheduled policies will be discussed at the start of each delegate session, followed by American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) recommendations, then state and Michigan Farm Bureau policies.
-
State and MFB policies (both amended and reaffirmed) will be voted on by title only, five at a time. This excludes the scheduled policies. Like the reaffirmation process in prior years, delegates may request to withdraw a policy from the group, to be discussed and voted on separately.
-
During consideration of the blocks of five policies, please submit amendments at least three blocks in advance.
-
AFBF recommendations will be reviewed individually.
