Michigan has the special distinction of hosting two state fairs where county Farm Bureaus have seized the opportunity to engage with fairgoers on agricultural topics.
The Kent County Farm Bureau Board of Directors has made it a priority to show tangible support to the Youth Fair by getting more people to the Fair, participating in the large animal auction, and ensuring the future growth of the Fair through a matching gift challenge.
Kent County Farm Bureau and Wilbur-Ellis' Sparta location teamed up to provide free agricultural tire recycling to their members and customers, moving at least 700 tires from annoyances to tire-derived aggregate that can be put to good use.
Our farms and families are woven into the fabric of Michigan’s rural communities and economy. Much like our crops, livestock, and businesses, our rural communities need care and nurturing too, ensuring they can meet residents’ needs, support area businesses, and sustain a functional local government.
