Meet Bob Smathers! Bob is the regional manager for Idaho Farm Bureau in 8 counties of Northern Idaho, including Latah County. As regional manager, he works to help Idaho Farm Bureau Federation volunteers grow as leaders while promoting the mission and vision of Idaho Farm Bureau. He is currently in his 17th year with Farm Bureau!

Bob’s favorite part about working with Latah County Farm Bureau is the people.

“The farmers and ranchers that serve as leaders in county organizations like Latah County Farm Bureau are committed and loyal to the organization. The mission of Idaho Farm Bureau is to empower Idaho agriculture and this is only possible with a strong foundation of County Farm Bureau’s in place.”

Bob encourages everyone looking to get involved in their county’s Farm Bureau to check out the website in our bio, and reach out to your county’s representatives and leadership.

Bob has been married to Suzanne for over 46 years, is a graduate from the University of Idaho, and loves to hunt, fish, sing in church choir, read, play co****le, and spend time with his grandchildren in Moscow.

Bob is a wonderful representative of Idaho Farm Bureau, and a great connection for anyone wanting to get involved. Thank you Bob!

This year, we had 8 high schools in Northern Idaho compete in discussion meet over the last 6 weeks.
Our first place winner from Northern Idaho was Nicholas Kirkland from Nezperce High School, who also represented our district at the state high school discussion meet at the Idaho Farm Bureau Commodity/Legislative Conference.
At districts, Josh Nelson from Troy High School finished 2nd, Samantha Smith from Moscow High School finished 3rd, and Tristan Robinson from Timberlake High School finished 4th. The last round was very competitive, so the future of Idaho Farm Bureau from Northern Idaho is very bright!
Congratulations to these four promising students!
