Mission Statement

We will be the voice and leader of Hillsborough County and Florida agriculture. We will strive to have our members well informed, educated, and effective at all levels of the organization, as well as with community, legislative, and other strategic alliances. Our services increase the net income of members through economic, social, and educational opportunities.

What is Farm Bureau?

Farm Bureau Federation is a free, independent, non-governmental, voluntary grass-roots organization for farm and ranch families and anyone interested in Agriculture, united for the purpose of analyzing their problems; and by formulation action, seeks to achieve educational improvement, economic opportunity and social advancement, thereby promoting the national welfare. Farm Bureau Federation is local, statewide, national, and international in its scope and influence. It is non-partisan, non-sectarian, and non-secretive in character.

It is an organization which makes it possible for the voice of the people to be heard where it will count. It has a reputation for fairness in State Legislatures and the Congress of the United States.

It is a family organization. Membership is determined on the basis of families, not of male members, or female members, but of whole families; father, mother, and children.

Farm Bureau Federation believes in the American capitalistic, private, competitive enterprise system in which property is privately owned, privately managed, and operated for profit and individual satisfaction.

We believe in a competitive business environment in which supply and demand are the primary determinants of market prices, the use of production resources and the distribution of output. We believe in the right of every person to choose their own occupations; to be rewarded according to their contribution to society, to save, invest, spend, or convey to their heirs, their earning as they choose.
