The lAA legislative committee invites 

 suggestions and inquiries from the 

 members of the County Farm Bureau 

 legislative committees upon legislative 

 matters affecting agriculture. 



Any Farm Bureau member who has 

 suggestions is invited to contact his 

 County Farm Bureau legislative com- 

 mittee. 



The lAA legislative committee serves 

 as a watchdog for the farmers' interests 

 at the state capital. It examines each 

 of the bills which are introduced. It 

 makes the position of the lAA known 

 with reference to those bills which 

 affect agriculture or organizations and 

 activities affiliated with the lAA and 

 County Farm Bureaus. 



The size of the legislative commit- 

 tee's job can well be seen when it is 

 realized that as of Feb. 1, 87 bills have 

 been introduced in the House and 81 

 bills in the Senate and the legislature 

 only convened Jan. 5.
