Both are grass roots animal ag/private property rights agencies in North Dakota where members are able to propose something at the county level (farm bureau) or state convention/district meeting (stockmens) which is how these orgs came forth with their stances in these instances. I haven't been to a Stockmen's convention in a few years and still attend our county farm bureau meetings every year. Due paying members have the ability to bring something to their county level meeting on the FB side of things and it's voted on by due paying members there, then goes to the state convention where it's again voted on and then made into policy if I remember the steps correctly.I have no idea if any member of the FB or stockmens will bring ideas forward or what they will toss support behind or in opposition in the future. They do on lots of different topics through out the year, but at least on the FB side since those are the meetings I've attended more recently, a member brings something forward, it's voted on locally, then voted on the state level and then written into their policy.. at least that is how the process worked for this. No boards making decisions for the members without input of the due paying members.Depending on how the game and fish goes forward with this bill (there is rumblings they met with some senate members to try and get the bill killed and then "workout a compromise" afterwards) will probably make a difference in the future I would imagine.</blockquote>

Verification: What is the most common fish caught on this site?
