Arkansas Farm Bureau, the state’s largest agricultural advocacy organization, has set a Measure the Candidate forum for May 9 at the Wyndham Riverfront Hotel in North Little Rock. Candidates for state constitutional offices, the 2^ndCongressional district of the U.S. House of Representatives, and state Supreme Court have been invited to be on the program.

“This meeting is an excellent opportunity for Farm Bureau members to meet and hear these candidates,” said Randy Veach of Manila (Mississippi County), president of the Arkansas Farm Bureau. “Our members have a well-earned reputation of being politically active, and this forum is another example of the focus of this organization. We want to ensure we have a membership that understands where candidates stand on things that are important to agriculture and other issues important to our members.”

The forum will begin at 9:30 a.m. and conclude in the afternoon.

Farm Bureau members interested in attending should contact the state headquarters at 501-228-1324 to reserve space for the session.

Arkansas Farm Bureau is a nonprofit, private advocacy organization with more than 190,000 families throughout the state working to improve farm and rural life.
