Boone County Farm Bureau officially merged with the Winnebago County Farm Bureau, effective September 1. The two groups have been talking about a merger for almost two years, in an effort to better serve their members.
"I think there's one great benefit, it is that we have the opportunity now to stop and say this is what we've been doing, but let's design an organization that will meet the future," Winnebago County Farm Bureau President Earl Williams said.
The merger allows the organizations to cut down on expenses while offering more programs to members. Last month's vote to merge was almost unanimous
