Missouri Farm Bureau

Organized at the grass roots, MFB has a local office in every county and a county organization run by local members. By joining, members become a part of their county Farm Bureau, Missouri Farm Bureau and the American Farm Bureau Federation.

On March 24, 1915, farmers and ranchers in Saline County organized the first Farm Bureau with the goal of improving the quality of life for rural Missourians and protecting the industry of agriculture. Officially represented at this meeting, were ten Missouri counties: Buchanan, Carroll, Cooper, Jackson, Johnson, Knox, Marion, Pettis, Saline and St. Francois.

From this small gathering, Farm Bureau eventually spread throughout every state in our nation and later into Puerto Rico. Missouri is affiliated with the world's largest farm organization, the American Farm Bureau, with headquarters in Washington, D.C.

The Missouri Farm Bureau Federation is a statewide organization with offices in every county of the state. Each county has its own president and board of directors elected by county Farm Bureau members. The Missouri Farm Bureau built a reputation through the years based on credibility, integrity and thorough knowledge of the issues - a reputation that continues to grow.
