(Farm Bureau's major fundraising event)....It was their annual Dinner.

It was held late last week in Brawley. The theme was a Celebration of Agriculture. The event was preceded by a major dust storm. Fortunately the storm calmed down before the 6:00 pm start of the event. The steak dinner was highlighted by their awards ceremony. The 2022 Betty Young Memorial Friends of the Farmers Award went to Imperial Irrigation District Board President Jim Hanks. The 17th Annual Jim Kuhn Farmer of the Year Award went to Tom Brundy of Tom's Hay Farm.
