AFBF
President Bob Stallman announced on Tuesday that he will not seek reelection in
January 2016 following 16 years at the helm of the nation’s largest, most
influential general farm organization. Stallman, a cattle and rice producer
from Columbus, Texas, is the 11th president during AFBF’s almost 97-year
history.
“It has been a tremendous honor to serve the nation’s Farm Bureau members and represent agriculture and rural America,” Stallman said. “After 16 years as AFBF president, six as Texas Farm Bureau president and several more in other Farm Bureau roles, it is time to hand over the reins of leadership—a decision that is made easier by knowing the great leadership and foundation that exist to continue moving Farm Bureau forward. I am as optimistic as ever about the future of American agriculture and Farm Bureau.”
