I have recently done a series of stories that very much involve the American Farm Bureau Federation. For example, we recently learned how much influence AFBF President Zippy Duvall has with Washington politicians including pres. Trump. Here in Idaho, Idaho Farm Bureau Pres. Brian Searle has considerable sway with Idaho legislators who are keenly aware of the economic and Labor importance of agriculture in our state. Well, Farm Bureau member and farmer herself, Katie Brenny says work by AFBF and other agriculture groups helps boost technology on the farm. "It all starts here in Washington, D.C. Helping our elected officials understand that technology is needed on our farms and ranches and how can we make that possible. Faster broadband, or if it's just different tools that can help with some of the rules and regulations that they are going to put in place and letting them see and understand how that does affect us back home on the farms and ranches, but yet, is also helpful here in Washington, D.C." The American Farm Bureau Federation, the Idaho Farm Bureau, critical elements to the success of farmers and ranchers in this beautiful state.
