Jake Retires

Idaho AG is going to lose a tremendous friend, my very good friend Jake Putnam is retiring from the Farm Bureau. I have been with Farm Bureau for 22 years now. Prior to that, I was in broadcast news for about probably 19. Prior to that, I was a tennis pro. So I think what I'm going to do is go back and play a lot of tennis and probably a blog or a podcast will emerge somewhere with me on it. You know, maybe just all the things I've done and all my life experiences, so I'll probably do a blogg or podcast. Jake, you've been with Farm Bureau, so long covering Idaho AG. What's the Farm Bureau going to do without you? Farm Bureau, they will live long and prosper. Farm Bureau is in great hands. They're a fantastic organization to work for. But from the farmer's perspective, they're very needed. Farmers have to have a Farm Bureau and the reason why is because they need someone to go to bat for them, especially at the State House here in Idaho and at the Capitol in Washington. Farm Bureau is a great ally of Idaho's farm community. If Farm Bureau didn't exist, they would have to invent them. Well, Jake, You're leaving is a terrible loss to the Farm Bureau, as well as to me as a personal friend. Best of luck to you. Well, thanks.
