Mark Haney has been president for 15 years.
Haney is a farmer from Pulaski County where he raises apples, peaches and cattle.
Last week, U.S.
Senator Mitch McConnell paid tribute to Haney on the Senate floor.
Mark Haney, the Farm Bureau's longest serving president and a proud farmer himself, has played an important role in preserving our common agricultural heritage and recruiting the next generation of young producers.
This year, the Farm Bureau bids mark a warm farewell as he prepares to step down, closing out 15 successful years as president and over three decades on the board.
Nearly 75,000 farmers back home helped keep dinner plate for all across the country.
And for the better part of a century, they've trusted Mark to lead them through the good times and bad.
Haney had announced his plans to retire in September.
Here's what he said at the time.
Quote, Kentucky Farm Bureau is a grassroots organization made up of the brightest, hardest working people you will ever know.
It's been my honor to serve alongside these terrific Kentucky farm families and quote.
