THE FARM BUREAU ORGANIZATION
The Farm Bureau is an organization of, by, and for the farmers. Farm people throughout the nation are grouped together in the organization to accomplish collectively what cannot be done individually.
It is organized in the community, the county, the state, and the nation. Anchored in the grass roots of America, it stands in united phalanx to battle for the protection and advancement of agriculture, and for everything that involves the welfare of farmers and their families.
The Farm Bureau Federation is an organization incorporated under the laws of Illinois to promote, protect, and represent the business, economic, social and educational interest of the farmers of the nation and to develop agriculture. There are affiliated in the Federation approximately 36 states and 1,300 county farm bureaus and the Associated Women of the American Farm Bureau Federation.
