WE ARE FARM BUREAU
OUR MISSION
AFBF is the unified national voice of agriculture, working through our grassroots organizations to enhance
and strengthen the lives of rural Americans and to build strong, prosperous agricultural communities.
PURPOSE OF FARM BUREAU
Farm Bureau is an independent, non-governmental, voluntary organization governed by and representing
farm and ranch families united for the purpose of analyzing their problems and formulating action to achieve
educational improvement, economic opportunity and social advancement and, thereby, to promote the
national well-being. Farm Bureau is local, county, state, national and international in its scope and influence
and is non-partisan, non-sectarian and non-secret in character. Farm Bureau is the voice of agricultural
producers at all levels.
In 1919, a small group of farmers from 30 states gathered in Chicago and founded the American Farm
Bureau Federation. Their goal – speaking for themselves through their own national organization. Farm
Bureau soon became the voice of agriculture at the national level.
“The purpose of Farm Bureau is to make the business of farming more profitable, and the community a
better place to live. Farm Bureau should provide an organization in which members may secure the benefits
of unified efforts in a way which could never be accomplished through individual effort.” – Statement
originally approved by Farm Bureau members in 1920.
While issues and challenges have changed for America’s farmers and ranchers over the past eight
decades, the mission and goals of Farm Bureau have remained true to that spirit. Farm Bureau members
have become more vocal in speaking out on issues of concern for the nation’s farmers and ranchers.
The We Are Farm Bureau brochure provides a concise overview of the Farm
Bureau organization and structure. From the organization’s grassroots base to
descriptions of the American Farm Bureau Federation structure, the booklet
serves as a comprehensive guide to Farm Bureau. The attractive full color,
design makes it a top-notch membership recruiting tool as well as a guide for new
leaders and volunteers.
