The Hamilton County Farm Bureau is a non-profit organization, whose mission is to "Improve the economic well-being of agriculture and enrich the quality of farm family life." Whether we are farmers or not, agriculture touches virtually every aspect of our lives. From farmers who work sun-up to sundown to plant and harvest, to those who are involved in the agribusiness, to those who simply eat: we are all affected by agriculture. Joining your local Farm Bureau is a great way to show your support for this vital industry!
Membership begins to pay for itself the day you join. Those with a financial interest in agriculture pay annual dues of only $75.00; those who do not have a financial interest in agriculture but wish to support our cause pay only $20. Benefits range from legislative efforts, to financial savings, to staying informed about issues affecting agriculture and rural America. Take a look at some of the perks a membership will afford to you:
