Christina,
Here is my perception of the relationship between ESHPA and Farm Bureau, as deluded or not as that perception may be. The way I see it, Farm Bureau does not wield influence over ESHPA as much as ESHPA members who are also Farm Bureau members use Farm Bureau to do what Farm Bureau does, advocate for its members at the NY State Legislation Level. This may or may not always be at or for the benefit or wishes of the whole membership of ESHPA.
I don't know how any association can please all of its members all the time or even any time. It is to each of us to find value in associating w/ each other. Or not.
