Cherokee County Farm Bureau Wins State Awards Cherokee County Farm Bureau (CCFB) was honored during the 84th Annual Georgia Farm Bureau (GFB) Convention. In recognition of efforts to promote agriculture in the local community, CCFB received the GFB McKemie Award in the organization’s large membership division. The McKemie Award, which is the highest honor awarded to a county Farm Bureau, is a memorial to former GFB President W.J. McKemie. CCFB received a $1,500 cash prize for winning the award. The GFB also awarded CCFB the Outstanding Legislative Award, in recognition of efforts to make legislators and public officials aware of issues farmers face. The CCFB Legislative Committee hosted a Legislative Appreciation Breakfast in 2019, which gave local farmers a chance to interact with elected officials or their office representatives. The Committee also held an in-person political forum in 2019 and a virtual forum in 2020 to give political candidates a chance to share their platforms with residents.
