2025 Governmental Affairs Leadership Conference (GALC)
Thank you to our members, legislators, speakers and staff for making GALC 2025 a resounding success. Hundreds of members came to Springfield to learn about the local, state and national legislative priorities. Importantly, Farm Bureau connected members directly with legislators as we continue to foster bipartisan relationships on behalf of agriculture.
