The vision of an organization
is held in part by all of its
members. The practical vision
is the responsive statement of
hope within the given
environment. It provides a
sense of the destination of the
effort. It tells us where
we are going, what the
accomplishments, outcomes,
changes and results are that
we are seeking by our efforts.
MFBF unveiled a new look to the mn.org
website. In addition to brighter colors and
up-to-date technology, the new website is
organized to make information easier to access
and provide necessary resources to Farm
Bureau leaders. Website visitors can still find
information about the organization, member
services, leadership, promotion, educational
resources, public policy, news, events and the
Minnesota Farm Bureau Foundation.
