House recognizes Georgia Farm Bureau Day; Tom McCall thanks legislators
Summary
The Georgia House read a special resolution recognizing Feb. 10, 2026, as Georgia Farm Bureau Federation Day and invited Farm Bureau president Tom McCall to address the chamber, where he thanked members and highlighted the organization's statewide membership.
The Georgia House of Representatives read and considered House Resolution 10 81, recognizing Feb. 10, 2026, as Georgia Farm Bureau Federation Day at the State Capitol and commending the federation's longstanding role in state agriculture.
Chairman Robert Dickey introduced Tom McCall, president of the Georgia Farm Bureau Federation and a former House agriculture chairman, to speak to members in the chamber. McCall told the House he was grateful to be back and noted the federation’s scale and reach, saying the organization represents hundreds of thousands of members. "We had about 230,000 members... that's 230,000 member families," McCall said, urging members to visit associated events at the depot and thanking lawmakers for their work.
Dickey and other members emphasized agriculture's economic importance to the state. The House then proceeded to other calendar items, including rules-calendar business and committee reports.
The resolution and McCall's remarks were ceremonial and did not themselves enact policy, but they signaled engagement between the legislature and a major farming organization ahead of scheduled Farm Bureau activities at the Capitol.
