PCFB received the GFB Rewarding Excellence in Ag Program (REAP) Planter Award in the organization’s Medium membership division. GFB’s REAP award honors county Farm Bureaus for the organization/membership, advocacy, leadership development, education & outreach activities they did between Sept. 1, 2024, and Aug. 31, 2025. The REAP Awards are divided into three tiers – Harvester (1st), Planter (2nd) and Cultivator (3rd) with tier winners in each of GFB’s three membership categories – small, medium and large.
“Georgia Farm Bureau’s succeeds in its mission to be the voice of Georgia farmers because it has dedicated county leaders, staff and volunteers across the state working in their communities to tell the story of agriculture,” said GFB President Tom McCall. “We’re proud of all of them, and we’re honored to recognize Pike County for the work they have done to promote agriculture in the local community this past year.”
As a REAP Planter Award winner, PCFB received a plaque and President Ray Brumbeloe received an embroidered Farm Bureau vest. Office Manager Rebecca Rolling received a $500 gift card.
