Georgia Farm Bureau (GFB) depends on its volunteer members and the activities they do in their communities to promote agriculture. Since 2022, GFB has recognized a volunteer of the year from each of its 10 districts at its annual convention. These volunteers go the extra mile to promote agriculture in their local communities.
