HR1081: HR1081 Georgia Farm Bureau Federation Day at the state capitol; 02/10/26; recognize

This House resolution is a ceremonial measure that designates February 10, 2026, as Georgia Farm Bureau Federation Day at the state capitol. It recounts the history of the Georgia Farm Bureau Federation, which was formed in 1937 to represent production agriculture and has grown to 158 county chapters with more than 235,000 members. The resolution notes that the organization now runs affiliated companies offering advocacy, insurance, and banking services to its members, and credits its president, Mr. Tom McCall, and the House Agriculture and Consumer Affairs Committee for recognizing the group's role in Georgia agriculture. The resolution does not change any Georgia law or create any funding, program, or requirement. It simply directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the Georgia Farm Bureau Federation.
