Policy Development
The process for the Dec. 3-4 delegate sessions includes:
- Discussion time is 15 minutes per policy.
- Scheduled policies will be discussed at the start of each delegate session, followed by American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) recommendations, then state and Michigan Farm Bureau policies.
- State and MFB policies (both amended and reaffirmed) will be voted on by title only, five at a time. This excludes the scheduled policies. Like the reaffirmation process in prior years, delegates may request to withdraw a policy from the group, to be discussed and voted on separately.
- During consideration of the blocks of five policies, please submit amendments at least three blocks in advance.
- AFBF recommendations will be reviewed individually.
