| The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation is the state’s largest general farm organization representing the needs and interests of all farmers for all commodities. There are 47,183 member families that belong to the Wisconsin Farm Bureau. Voting Farm Bureau members (farmers) annually sets the policy the organization follows, and are involved in local, state and national affairs making it a true grassroots organization. The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation was organized by a group of farmers in Waukesha on May 27, 1920, and incorporated in December of 1920. The farmers wanted to have an organization controlled by farmers to represent them on legislative issues and to provide farm marketing services. Farm Bureau is a voluntary, non-governmental organization financed and controlled by the voting member families (active farmers). The farmer-members elect voting delegates who in turn elect a Board of Directors of eleven people. One district director from each of the nine districts, together with the Women’s Committee Chairman and the Young Farmers Chairman, make up the Board of Directors. There are 61 County Farm Bureau units in Wisconsin affiliated with the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation, which is a member of the American Farm Bureau Federation. |
