Farm Bureau News
The.new president of the
Texas-Farm Bureau believes
the American farmers and
ranchers will survive the cur-
rent economic crisis facing
agriculture because, like him-
self, they share an optimistic
attitude about the future.
S.H- True Jr. of Plainview,
elected in December at the
Texas Farm Bureau conven-
tion in Dallas, recalled that he
faced {hree options as a young
man just returning home in
1945 after service as a Navy
fightfer pilot in World War II.
• True could have become a
civilian pilot, finished his
college education at Texas
Technological University
whidh he began prior to the
war, or followed in his father's
footsteps as a farmer in Hale
County on the South Plains.
He -those farming, a busi-
ness which blossomed for him
in th£ succeeding 37 years.
* True produces cotton grain,
surgnum, soybeans, wheat on
his'960 acne farm near Plain-
view.
A native of Goree in Knox
County, True was one of eight
children. The family moved to
Hale> Countv in 1933. He
graduated from Plainview
High School. Ater returning
World War II, he entered
farming. He joined the Texag
Farm Bureau in 1952. rising to
the ranks of secretary-trea-
sfirer, vice president and
president of the Hale County
Farm Bureau.
True was elected to the'TFB
Board of Directors in 1975. He
served.two years a^, secretary
treasurer and was in his third
year as vice president when
electetf president.
True serves on the Cotton
Board, a quasi-government
body empowered by Congress
to administer the cotton’^
research and promotion pjp-
gram. He is a member of the
boards of directors of Southern
Farm Bureau Life and’ Ca-
sualty Insurance companies.
As TFB president, he is
president of the Texas l;arm
Bureau Mutual Insurance
Company, Texas Agricultural
Marketing and Development
Association, Texas Agricultu-
ral Service Company and’the
TFB Rural Health Association,
Inc. - . '
Locally, True serves _ as
chairman of the Hale County
Program Building Committee
of the Extension Service,
secretary of the Hi Plains
Hospital Board of Directors,
president of the Hale County
Fair Board and as a member of
the Plainview Federal Land
Bank Association. He is a past
member ' of the Board .of
Directors of United Farm
Industries, a local grain coo-
perative. x'
Just as his own farhii^g
career has proven highly Suc-
cessful, True believis the
future of the family farmer
remains promising. True, sees
the incentive inherent in.
family farming as a* tlean
advantage over corporate far-
ming operations. -'
Whereas corporate farm
employees nierly seek a salary
the family farmer seeks” for
both a profit and the challeijge
of outdoing his neighbor. True
observed.
The competitiveness of. a
free enterprise system re-
mains the stimulus for the
family farm, True believes.
A challenge facing True as
he beings office is maintaining
Texas Farm Bureau’s newly-
achieved number one status
among^state Farm Bureaus
with 306,359 member families.
TFB reached that plateau in
1982 with a gain of 30,112
member families. i
True is married to the
former ’Anna Jean Roberts.
They have one son, David, of
Dumas, and a young grand-
son, Blaine. The Trues artf
active members of the Plain-
view First United tyethodist
Church.
The Trues were named Hale
County Farm Bureaq family of
the Year in 1964. True was
chosen 1979 Man ofjthe Year
jn agriculture by the Texas
County Agents Association.
