Idaho Farm Bureau Annual Meeting

The Idaho Farm Bureau annual convention is held every year around the end of November or the beginning of December. The primary business of the annual convention is to set policy and elect leaders of the Idaho Farm Bureau Federation. This is accomplished in what is called the House of Delegates. Being a grassroots organization, each of the 36 organized Idaho counties selects two farm or ranch delegates to represent them on the House of Delegates floor to discuss and debate all policies.

The annual convention is a three-day event and has many components. On Tuesday, participants hear from Farm Bureau leaders and are updated on developments from the past year. A series of workshops follows covering a range of topics. Young Farmer & Rancher district finalists from around Idaho come to the annual convention to compete. Major awards are given to winners and runners-up in these three different events.
Wednesday starts with more education of the different aspects of the Idaho Farm Bureau and launches into the House of Delegates session.

Thursday morning is the continuation of the House of Delegates. Throughout the annual convention, Young Farmers & Ranchers, and District State Board Members. All election results are ratified Thursday morning by the House of Delegate body, who also elect the president and vice-president of the Idaho Farm Bureau Federation on rotating years.
