Amazing turn out last night!! We had about 80 people attend our county annual meeting at Kinderhook Elks Lodge #2530. We got to hear from New York Farm Bureau CEO Deanna Fox, Senator Michelle Hinchey, and Congressman Marc Molinaro. Our county and state boards were able to honor Eric Ooms for all of his service for NYFB. Thank you to all of our donations from local businesses, we were able to auction some off and raise over $1,500 for the Taconic Hills Central School District FFA program!
