This resolution commends the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation on the occasion of its 100th anniversary, recognizing its long history since its incorporation in 1926 as a non-governmental organization dedicated to supporting Virginia's agriculture and forestry industries. The resolution highlights the Federation's mission to unite county farm bureaus and other groups to advance agricultural interests, its extensive network serving over 136,000 member households, and its role as "The Voice of Virginia Agriculture" in championing legislation beneficial to farmers. It also acknowledges the Federation's contributions through programs for farm women and young farmers, services like grain marketing and product sales, its support for initiatives such as Virginia Agriculture in the Classroom, and its provision of affordable insurance products to farmers and all Virginians. Furthermore, the resolution notes the Federation's role in preserving agricultural heritage and promoting community engagement through its ownership of The Meadow Event Park, the birthplace of Secretariat and host of the State Fair of Virginia, and expresses the admiration of the Senate of Virginia for the organization's legacy of service.
