Farmers still wield enormous influence in Mississippi and as the President of the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation, Mike McCormick is probably the loudest voice for them.  He also operates one of the oldest farms in Mississippi which has been in his family since the 1820s.

Under his leadership, Farm Bureau has continued and expanded its influence on Mississippi public policy by way of actively engaging with state legislators and policy makers at every level.  His leadership as a founding member of the Farm Families of Mississippi Ag Image Promotion Campaign where he served as the committee’s vice-chair helped highlight Farm Bureau and add to its profile across the state.

McCormick has been a member of the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation Board of Directors and was actively involved with the Jefferson County Farm Bureau Board of Directors for 20 years where he served as County President.

Mike has served on numerous committees and councils including the National Cattlemen’s Beef Promotion and Research Board, the Mississippi Beef Council, the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation and American Farm Bureau Federation advisory committees on beef and forestry, and the Jefferson County Economic Development Board of Directors.  In short, if you want to talk to farmers in Mississippi, Mike McCormick better be on your list.
