Grassroots and Political Advocacy

The FB Advocacy network is designed to raise awareness among Congress and the administration about how public policies impact farmers and ranchers, consumers and the agriculture industry.

We provide state Farm Bureaus and Farm Bureau® members the skills and tools to be effective advocates and to develop and strategically leverage thought leaders for agriculture.
