How to Join a Farm Bureau

All farmers can join the Farm Bureau Agency.

The Farm Bureau Federation is a national agency that unites farmers in every state to help the agricultural industry grow. Each state has its own branch of the Farm Bureau Federation, but all work under the same ethics code and rules. Any type of producer--from cattle breeders to flower farmers--is welcome to join the Farm Bureau Federation to network with other farmers and stay on top of the latest news in the industry.

Instructions

1. Call your county Farm Bureau Federation. This number can be found in the telephone book or online and will vary by location. Over the phone, you can pay for your dues with a Visa or Mastercard. You will need to tell the operator your name, address, telephone number and what county your farm or ranch is located in.

2. Print the application off your state's Farm Bureau website and mail it into the designated address. Remember to include a check or your credit card information to pay for the annual fees.

3. Apply in person at your county Farm Bureau Federation office. You can print the application in advance online, or pick up the application at the office.

4. Renew online. Although memberships cannot be purchased online, members can renew existing memberships through the state's Farm Bureau Federation's website.

5. Attend meetings and take advantage of the benefits of being part of the Farm Bureau Federation once your dues are paid and application is accepted.
