Detailed description is Welcome to Tuscola County Farm Bureau Facebook Page! The Beginning of Tuscola County Farm Bureau . . In the spirit of Caro celebrating its bicentennial, the following are excerpts from the history of Tuscola County Farm Bureau as written by Mrs. Clare J. Carpenter. . Tuscola County Farm Bureau presents this as a contribution to the advancement of Farm Bureau ideals and to strengthen faith in what we believe. We dedicate this history to the men and women, with their convictions and courage, who brought Farm Bureau through the pioneer years and to those who have helped to advance the purpose for which it began. . . August 1917, farmers took a great step forward in Tuscola County that significantly brought about many changes to the area, and led rural families in building one of the progressive counties in Michigan. . . Robert P. Reavey and School Commissioner Ben H. McComb, representing the various farmers clubs in Tuscola County, drove from home to home interviewing farmers and members of the Board of Supervisors relative to the employment of a county agricultural agent. The consent of the supervisors was necessary in order to secure the proper guarantee of his employment.. . The results were favorable and following recommendations from the Agricultural College an agent was hired. Mr. Alexander McVittie of Bay City came to Caro to fill the new and very important position after the culmination of a campaign extending over nearly two years.. . From its inception, officials of the State Savings Bank of Caro were greatly interested in the movement and in order to have it become effective immediately, they placed at their disposal the basement rooms of their bank where headquarters were set up.. . Mr. McVittie's job was to be helpful to the agricultural interests of the county and accessible to those wishing advice. No sooner had he opened his office than reports of trouble began to reach his desk from farmers who after thrashing their wheat, found it affected by smut. He set to work advising on treatment and found a source of new seed at the Caro Farmers Cooperative, which was managed by J. N. McAllister. He then held ten demonstration meetings around the county to show the best manner of selecting and treating seed corn which aroused a great deal of interest in as much as a farmer used his own corn for seed or that of his neighbor.. . At a meeting of the supervisors in October 1917, it was voted unanimously to the organization of a County Farm Bureau and appropriated $2,500 to defray expenses and equip the county agents office. The vote followed a talk by Professor Mumford from Michigan Agricultural College on the purposes, scope and results sure to be obtained through the work of such an organization. . . The point Dr. Mumford stressed in emphasizing the need was for farmers to organize in the production of standardized stock and grains so that such things might be put on the market in quantities that would influence buyers to come to this locality.. . A committee of five members of the board was appointed to act in conjunction with a Farm Bureau. . Then Mr. McVittie prepared a series of articles, which appeared in the newspapers to make clear the advantages of such a farmer organization. It was noted that Saginaw, Newaygo, Branch, Allegan, St. Clair, Kalamazoo, Kent and Alpena were already organized into effective Farm Bureaus. The last two mentioned by then were four years old.. . So the Tuscola County Farm Bureau came into existence with George Gray of Vassar, President; Eugene Hess of Akron, Vice President; Ben H. McComb of Caro, Secretary; and H. P. Bush of Caro, Treasurer. Those appointed to special interest committees were: Soils and Drainage – R. Rutledge, Henry Lane and Clarence Donahue; Livestock – E. R. Purdy, Henry Pattison; Dairy – Ben H. Reavey, William Slack; Crop Improvement – Robert P. Reavey and son and John McAllister. Also chosen were chairmen on these committees to serve from Akron, Cass City, Fostoria, Gagetown, Reese, Unionville and Vassar.. . It was decided to undertake the publication of a periodical for a better line of communication between members and the Farm Bureau office. The Tuscola County Farm Bureau News contained timely suggestions relating to local government, news of discoveries – local and otherwise and reports on demonstrations. They thought a member using the free “wanted” or “for sale” section would soon get the price of membership dues back.. . “State of Michigan Buys 1000 Tractors,” read the headlines. Henry Ford had agreed to have them ready for delivery by April 1 and the County War Board would sell them. Governor Sleeper said the deal involved $850,000 and there was to be no profit on them for anybody, so under the plan Ford could not sell to individuals. Farmers could purchase a Ford tractor at $750 plus $97 for the Oliver 2-bottom plow that went with the tractor.. . By May 1918, Farm Bureau had organized seven branches of the Michigan Crop Improvement Association in Tuscola County, with a combined membership of 108.. . Thrashers were notified a license was needed to do business and must be secured from the Secretary of State before they will be permitted to thrash any grain in the county this year. There was no charge for them. Records showing the quantity of each kind of grain thrashed must be kept and sent to the Farm Bureau office where they were tabulated and sent to the Bureau of Markets in Washington.. . The Tuscola County Beekeepers Association came into being August 1918 when 20 of the county’s 60 beekeepers became charter members. Those who enrolled as members indicated there was a combined number of over 700 colonies in the group. The increase in production of honey was brought on by the sugar shortage and Italy had been buying the extracted honey by the shipload causing an advance in price. It was desirable not only to increase production but also to stabilize prices. . . 600 bushels of Red Rock seed wheat was obtained by Farm Bureau from Allegan County and placed in five elevators for sale at $3.25 per bushel. Red Rock wheat had winter killed the year before but was considered worth another trial because of heavy yield.. . It was reported that 3000 counties in the United States were organized and that 68 out of the 83 counties in Michigan now were organized. Interest in the work of the Farm Bureau was raidly growing as the possibilities of cooperative action were recognized so the Executive Committee decided to put on a campaign for the purpose of securing 2,500 members, with a nominal membership fee of $1.00 per year. . . .
