Benjamin McFarland, a former aide to Congressman and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, has been hired on as the new Executive Director of the Kern County Farm Bureau (KCFB). McFarland is a graduate of Whittier College with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. Serving as Mr. McCarthy’s Field Representative, his work included relaying constituent concerns to the Congressman and speaking on his behalf.  In addition, he was the Constituent Services Representative for several U.S. Departmental Agencies, including Agriculture and Treasury, charged with attempting to resolve disputes between the community and the federal government.  McFarland was also involved in several pieces of Mr. McCarthy’s most recent legislation, including the San Joaquin Valley Water Reliability Act and the Commonsense Ozone Regulation Act. KCFB President, Steve Maniaci, said he is enthusiastic about the direction KCFB will take under the leadership of McFarland. 
“Ben is an energetic and bright man who will be able to keep KCFB involved and engaged in issues that affect the farming community and he will be a strong advocate and voice for the local ag industry. We are thrilled to have him on board,” said Maniaci.
