You join more than 6,200,000 others in this unique organization. Created in
1910 to disseminate college research results to farmers, Farm Bureau grew up to be one of
America's strongest lobbying organizations, with affiliated services that include highly
respected insurance companies.
Each county in the nation and Puerto Rico has a Farm Bureau organization.
Those county groups belong to a state federation (Arkansas Farm Bureau), and the state
federations to a national federation (American Farm Bureau). Each organization is
autonomous, but all work smoothly together on behalf of farm and rural people.
These groups monitor government activity, promote new laws
and regulations, initiate and support community activities, provide economic services,
encourage fellowship within communities.
The work is done in the county Farm Bureaus by thousands of volunteer leaders serving on boards
and committees and planning social outings, educational workshops, political action and
community forums; encouraging agricultural education in public schools; writing policy that
guides the organization's lobbying.
County Farm Bureaus are as effective and powerful as
members like you want them to be. There is always need for the enthusiastic worker, as an
out-in-front leader or a behind-the-scenes doer. Rewards are great, for the organization
and for the individual. There is great satisfaction in working hand-in-hand with friends
and neighbors for a common cause.
