Petrees named Farm Family of Year

0 comments

The annual county convention of the Callahan-Shackelford Farm Bureau was held last week at the First Baptist Church Christian Life Center in Clyde.

The highlight of the event was the announcement of “Farm Family of the Year.” The honor went to Gerald and Ruby Petree, who have farmed in Shackelford County for more than 50 years. 

The couple was joined at the event by a large group of family members who managed to keep the announcement a surprise before it was made.

Approximately 200 Farm Bureau members attended the annual convention and membership meeting that was led by president Phil Williams. 

State Representative Mike Lang, District 60, was on hand to give a brief update on agriculture issues that are being addressed at the State Capitol.

Board of directors for the organization are president Phil Williams, vice president Sam Snyder, secretary Kelly Head, Rocky Vinson, Richard Stockton, Nicki Harle, H.T. Gleason, Shane Lee, and Randall Franke.
