Washington Ag November 14, 2008 Next week is a busy one for the Washington State Farm Bureau. Hammer: "We've got the Washington Farm Bureau Labor conference on Monday. Then we have our 89th Annual Meeting immediately following on Tuesday and both events are happening at the Wenatchee Convention Center."
