Bob Stallman
SAN ANTONIO — Delegates at the 95th American Farm Bureau Federation annual convention re-elected Bob Stallman as president for an eighth two-year term.

Stallman, a cattle and rice farmer from Columbus, Texas, who previously served as Texas Farm Bureau president, was unopposed.

Asked by a reporter Sunday how long he would stay in office, Stallman said, “I have always said — and nothing has changed — that I will depart this organization when I quit having fun or they kick me out.”

Stallman’s predecessor, Dean Kleckner, an Iowa farmer, served seven terms from 1986 until 2000, when Stallman defeated him. Stallman introduced Kleckner from the audience during this year's convention.
