Joey Airoso has been appointed president of the Tulare County Farm Bureau.

“It will be a first in the organization’s long history for a dairyman to hold the top office,” according to the Business Journal.

Outgoing President Steve Godlin will continue to serve as past president on the Farm Bureau's executive board.

Airoso comes from a long line of dairymen, his family having been in the business for more than 100 years. Today, he manages two dairy farms where he milks more than 2,000 cows, according to the article.

Other members were elected to leadership positions, including Josh Pitigliano of Tipton as second vice president and Dusty Ference of Visalia as treasurer. PD
