"Nevada Farm Bureau

Nevada Farm Bureau Unit was organized in the summer of 1920 by County Agent F. L. Leibenstein with Newell Nelson as first president. The membership did considerable buying of their needs in large lots to secure better prices. Nelson served as president 20 years followed by Emil Schwanke for a number of years.

In 1954, after a dormant period, the unit was re-organized by Harold Fossey with Lyle and Nevada becoming one unit. Fossey served as president a number of years. Succeeding presidents were Lee Martin, Jim Reed, Don Barnes, Harry Lenze and Alden Small, presently serving."
