GRANT TOWNSHIP — The Mason County Farm Bureau will hold its annual meeting on Thursday, Sept. 13, at 6:30 p.m. at Farmview Resort, 6700 N. US 31. The meeting is open to any member of the Mason County Farm Bureau, which is part of Michigan Farm Bureau, the largest agricultural advocacy organization in the state.

Election of board members will take place, as well as adoption of county policies and recommendations for state policy. Mason County Sheriff Kim Cole will discuss the upcoming vote on recreational marijuana.

Representatives from both Mason County Farm Bureau and Michigan Farm Bureau will talk about candidates and topics that are being supported by the organization during the November election.
