Farm Bureau has been a grassroots organization since its beginning. Its strength lies in each and every member in counties across the nation. Farm Bureau is one of the most effective organizations in Wisconsin because of the credibility and professionalism of its staff and leaders, and its politically active members who set policy for the organization. Farm Bureau’s influence is present from rural townships to Washington, D.C.
Farm Bureau leaders and staff work tirelessly on behalf of members, but no one’s voice is more effective and powerful as yours. Real world examples of how decisions are made by elected officials impact agriculture are best shared by the people with boots on the ground every day.
Farm Bureau provides an avenue for you, as a member, to stay informed on issues that impact or state and nation. Furthermore, Farm Bureau’s policies originate through members at the local level. Your voice and input at policy development meetings shape ideas proposed and advocated for at the state and national level.
Farm Bureau has full-time lobbyists advocating for agricultural interests, working with legislators and monitoring bills at the state Capitol. They also work with state agencies on administrative rules and regulations pertinent to agriculture.
On national issues, the Wisconsin Farm Bureau staff teams with American Farm Bureau lobbyists to make sure agriculture keeps a strong presence.
