Current Issues in Agriculture

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.

How Wisconsin Farm Bureau Shapes Agriculture Policy

Farm Bureau leaders and staff work tirelessly on behalf of members, but no one’s voice is more effective and powerful than yours. Real world examples of how decisions are made by elected officials that impact agriculture are best shared by the people with boots on the ground every day.

Farm Bureau also 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.
