Who can join Georgia Farm Bureau?
Anyone can become a member of Georgia Farm Bureau. You do not have to be a farmer or in the agriculture industry to be a member.
How much does it cost to be a member?
Just $35 annually.
Why do I need to specify a county?
Georgia Farm Bureau is a grassroots organization, fueled by volunteers and members on the local level in every community in the state. When you become a member of your county Farm Bureau, you also are a member of Georgia Farm Bureau.
Where do my membership dollars go?
The bulk of your membership dollars stay within your community for outreach efforts in your county. A portion goes to Georgia Farm Bureau for coordinated statewide outreach and also to advocate for legislation that enables Georgia farmers to continue feeding the world. A small portion (about 14%) goes to American Farm Bureau Federation to protect the broader interests of agriculture and rural communities across the nation.
The issues that Farm Bureau works to promote and protect affect every person in this state, from defending green space, to property rights, to reducing our reliance on foreign goods that can be produced locally by our Georgia farms, boosting the state’s economy.
How does Georgia Farm Bureau help my community?
Georgia Farm Bureau facilitates outreach programs in every Georgia community. This includes but is not limited to: agriculture literacy to teach kids where their food comes from, programs that foster relationships between consumers and the farmers in their neighborhoods, leadership development opportunities to help local farmers and agribusiness professionals thrive, advocacy work at the state and national capitol for issues directly facing farmers and consumers with a focus on delivering safe and sustainable food products to grocery store shelves, and more. Talk to your local Farm Bureau to learn more about what they’re doing in your county.
