communication of final decisions to each county is important.
AgriPac endorsements shall be made no later than 20 days after the state party conventions to allow adequate time to promote Friends of Agriculture.
With the increasing number of legislative and regulatory issues facing agriculture, it is going to be imperative that we have as many Friends of Agriculture elected as possible.
Endorsements should not be withheld simply because the candidate is running unopposed.
We encourage our members to contribute to AgriPac beyond the suggested voluntary donation on their dues.
We ask that AgriPac research and conduct, when feasible, fund raising activities to increase the funds available to help elect Friends of Agriculture.
We recommend Candidate Evaluation Committees include questions that address local issues.
We believe county Farm Bureaus should play an active role in surfacing viable candidates, especially Farm Bureau members, for public office in open seats. We commend the county Farm Bureaus and their county candidate evaluation committees for their active involvement in recommending and electing Friends of Agriculture. 
