What the Missouri Farm Bureau Annual Meeting Is
The Missouri Farm Bureau Annual Meeting is where the state's Farm Bureau members gather to set policy, elect leaders and recognize county programs. The 2026 meeting runs Saturday, December 5 through Tuesday, December 8 at Margaritaville Lake Resort in Osage Beach, and adjourns at 12 p.m. on December 8. Voting delegates debate and vote on resolutions, and members elect the organization's president and directors on the final morning.
