County Farm Bureau elects new president
PROSPECT — The longtime president of the Butler County Farm Bureau stepped down and was replaced by a young farmer representing the next generation of agricultural producers.
Larry Voll, who has served as president for the last 15 years, decided against seeking another year as leader and was replaced by James Thiele, 29, of Cabot during the election of officers following the bureau’s annual fall meeting Thursday.
“It’s time for a change. I did my best. I did what I could,” said Voll, who previously served as vice president. “It’s time for the next generation. We have a lot of good young people on our board. They’re our future. We couldn’t have a better group of young people than what we have.”
