This week, U.S. Representative John Rose (TN-6) led the Tennessee Congressional delegation to introduce a bipartisan resolution recognizing the 100th anniversary of the Tennessee Farm Bureau Federation (TFBF), celebrating their long history of representing farmers across the state. This legislation is cosponsored by Representatives Diana Harshbarger (TN-1), Tim Burchett (TN-2), Chuck Fleischmann (TN-3), Scott DesJarlais (TN-4), Jim Cooper (TN-5), Mark Green (TN-7), David Kustoff (TN-8), and Steve Cohen (TN-9).
“I could not be more proud to be a farmer and voting member of the 100-year-old Tennessee Farm Bureau Federation,” said Rep. Rose. “TFBF is the largest Farm Bureau in America and is the collective voice for farmers in Nashville and Washington. Every member of the Tennessee Congressional delegation relies on TFBF to one extent or another to stay tuned into what challenges and opportunities exist for 21st century farmers. The importance of Farm Bureau for agriculture cannot be overstated.”
“We are honored Congressman Rose and the Tennessee House Delegation are recognizing Tennessee Farm Bureau’s 100th anniversary,” said TFBF President Jeff Aiken. “We appreciate the resolution and thank them for their support of our century-year old organization, and even more so, their support of the farmers and rural people we have served for the past 100 years. As we step into the next 100 years, we look forward to working together to ensure the voice of agriculture remains strong in Tennessee.”
