They are also asked to complete a survey, sharing feedback on the topics that were submitted. These ideas are considered for future organizational policy. A committee reviews the information that is submitted, and all Farm Bureau members are invited to join in on the process further by discussing the topics and information with the committee at the Policy Development Meeting. The Voting Delegate representing the organization shares the policies and topics put together by their county at the statewide policy development conference. State-adopted policies are lobbied for with intent to be implemented as soon as possible. Nationally adopted policies are presented at the American Farm Bureau Annual Meeting by the Iowa Voting Delegates.
