As an ADVOCATE: Support the cause…
Who We Are
Farm Bureau is the trusted Voice of Agriculture® and the leading grassroots membership organization advocating for all farmers, ranchers and rural communities. The American Farm Bureau Federation is the national advocate for farmers, ranchers, and rural communities. Just as the work of feeding our nation begins on the farm, we believe that’s where the policy that shapes agriculture should begin as well. Every year, Farm Bureau members in more than 2,800 counties meet to discuss and vote on policies affecting their farms, ranches and communities. Those policies then set the agenda for their state Farm Bureaus and ultimately AFBF.
Grassroots Advocacy & Engagement
Active and engaged farmers and ranchers are the power behind the American Farm Bureau Federation. Our influence is unmatched when state and county Farm Bureaus and grassroots members unite with us to advocate for public policies that advance agriculture and strengthen rural communities. Their voices are also critical to telling agriculture’s story at a time when the public is more curious than ever about where their food comes from. Since our founding in 1919, AFBF has been defined by a true grassroots policy development process. Every January, farmer and rancher delegates set AFBF’s formal policy agenda after deliberation on and anticipation of the challenges and opportunities facing agriculture in the coming year.
Growing Effective Advocates
Farm Bureau needs champion advocates like you. We need farmers and ranchers around the country to stand up for ag policies in your state and in your communities. Whether you are a leader or just getting started in Farm Bureau, you can raise your voice to influence policies impacting agriculture.
