I was at the AFBF Houston meeting and saw the split growing in the
organization. There was distain for the old guard's cozy relationship with
agribusiness, and frustration with new members who brought in a more
populist sentiment. I heard it in the halls as well as the formal sessions
where one could hear applause coming from different parts of the room
depending on the message. I also heard some farmers concern for the power
that staff have and farmer frustration that it is not a grass roots
organization, responsive to their needs.
Anyone know anything about the new President?
