Logan County Farm Bureau Members Advocate for Agriculture in Washington, D.C.
More than 325 Kentucky Farm Bureau Members attended the Kentucky Farm Bureau Congressional Tour in Washington, D.C., Feb. 25 – Mar. 1. Logan Countians, Gary and Teresa Hendricks accompanied Joanna and Jenna Coles at this event. Jenna Coles of Logan County and Matthew Estes of Barren County were awarded the trip for being the KYFB state winners of the Outstanding Farm Bureau Youth contest. The Kentucky delegation met with Senators Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul along with all Kentucky U.S. Congressmen at a breakfast meeting to discuss legislative issues.
Farm Bureau members had time set aside for them to see historical points of interest of their choosing and take tours to see many of the sites such as the U.S. Capitol, Lincoln Memorial, Library of Congress, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, Ford’s Theatre, White House, Smithsonian Institution Museum, Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, U.S. Supreme Court, Monticello, Arlington Cemetery and others.
