As Kentucky Farm Bureau’s Centennial Year came to a close in 2019, the Vision 100 Committee was created at the direction of KFB President Mark Haney. This committee, comprised of KFB volunteer leaders from the local level, as well as staff from both the Federation and the Insurance Company, was convened to help guide strategic planning for the future of the entire organization.
CBOT futures closed widely mixed with big trading ranges across the board. Cattle futures closed mixed with live cattle down slightly and feeder cattle a little higher, despite the stronger corn close. Lean hog futures closed sharply lower with the August LH down the daily $3.00 limit (means Tuesday’s limit is $4.50 for all LH contracts).
KFB President Mark Haney says federal tax proposals threaten the future of family farms.
KFB Director of Young Farmer Programs Jackson Tolle says IFAL is a great opportunity for rural ag youth.

Live cattle futures closed sharply lower while feeder futures ended more narrowly mixed. Lean hog futures closed sharply lower to expanded-limit down (July, Aug LH) following yesterday’s $3.00 limit losses.
