Lannie Lee, an icon of Bulloch County agriculture, passed away Wednesday after a brief illness. The 96-year-old was a longtime member of the Bulloch County Farm Bureau, joining in 1947 and serving as president for the past 10 years. Known for his love of farming, fascination with tractors and amiable nature, Lee began farming his family’s land on Pretoria-Rushing Road in the late 1940s after returning from serving in World War II. He was president of the Brooklet Farm Bureau Chapter in the 1950s and served as a director of the Bulloch County Farm Bureau for a number of years.
