Bill > HJR79

This resolution, a formal expression of praise from the Virginia General Assembly, commends the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation for its 100 years of service to the Commonwealth's agricultural sector and rural communities. Established in 1926 as a cooperative to offer discounted farm supplies, the organization has grown into the largest agricultural advocacy group in Virginia, empowering farmers, supporting the economy, and providing insurance through its mutual insurance company for 65 years. It also publishes the Virginia Farm Bureau News and actively engages young people through its Young Farmers Program and a fellowship program, while its Agriculture in the Classroom Program recognizes teachers who inspire future farmers. The resolution acknowledges the Federation's vital role as a champion for its members and its ongoing commitment to addressing agricultural challenges for the benefit of the entire Commonwealth.
