When it comes to supporting these farmers, there's no organization that has had a greater impact on the agricultural community than the Kentucky Farm Bureau Federation. “Mark Haney, the Farm Bureau’s longest-serving president and a proud farmer himself, has played an important role in preserving our Commonwealth’s agricultural heritage and recruiting the next generation of young producers. “This year, the Farm Bureau bids Mark a warm farewell as he prepares to step down, closing out 15 successful years as president and over three decades on the Board. “Nearly 75,000 farms back home help keep dinner plates full across the country. And for the better part of this century, they’ve trusted Mark to lead them through the good times and the bad: From adapting to ever-evolving red tape from Washington… to helping farm families recover and rebuild after devastating storms… to navigating a once-in-a-century pandemic. “Personally, I’ve leaned on Mark for his counsel on the challenges that face rural America, and having worked with him for decades, I am confident this is not our final goodbye. Mark is sure to be an invaluable asset to Kentucky’s agricultural community and the organization he loves well into the future. “Elaine and I extend our warm wishes to our good friend Mark and his wife, Marlene, on his well-deserved retirement.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T18:49:58Z |
