Member Benefits
"Membership doesn't cost, it pays" has been true for generations of Farm Bureau members, and it's never been more so than it is today. If you aren't saving two or three times your annual dues costs with the savings programs below, we think you're leaving easy money on the table. In fact, it doesn't take much effort to save much more than that.
Oregon Farm Bureau's partners offer OFB members not only fantastic discounts, but also the best products and customer services around. For more information about any membership benefit, contact Cathy Murray of OFB Membership Services, or call her at (503) 399-1701, ext. 326, or (800) 334-6323.
Or get all of the benefit discount codes at the Farm Bureau members-only website at ofbinfo.org. (A one-time sign-up is required with your FB membership number.)

New FB Prescription Discount Program!
OFB offers the new Prescription Discount Program for members, which gives an average savings of 30% (and up to 75%) on brand and generic prescription drugs. It's ideal for members without health insurance or those who have no prescription benefit in their plan.

Other benefits of the program include no enrollment forms, no age restrictions, no income requirements, no waiting periods, no eligibility requirements, no exclusions, no claim forms to file, and no annual or lifetime limits.
The program is honored by more than 551 local, regional and national pharmacies in Oregon and more than 57,000 national and regional pharmacies.
Current Farm Bureau members can get a Prescription Discount Program card by calling OFB at (503) 399-1701 or can create and download their own printable card at the members-only website at ofbinfo.org (a one-time registration is required, verified by your paid-up membership number and zip code) .

Oregon Farm Bureau is pleased to announce a new partnership with AmeriGas Propane. AmeriGas will offer a 5˘-per-gallon discount to Farm Bureau members. Propane is a versatile fuel for the farm, home, and business. AmeriGas strives to provide its customers the most reliable, safest, and responsive service in the industry.
The AmeriGas difference: When it comes to managing the farm industry, there are many variables that can affect the bottom line. By making AmeriGas your supplier, you will keep your operating costs down and productivity up. By choosing the Automatic Delivery option, you are guaranteed not to run out of gas. There also is 24/7 emergency service.
AmeriGas also offers a wide variety of payment options. You can automatically have your invoice deducted from your bank account or credit card with AutoPay. You can use our online customer service center, and pay your bills online with E-Pay. AmeriGas offers the BudgetPay program, which allows you to spread your propane costs over 12 months for easy budgeting.
Propane is exceptional energy: Propane is an extremely versatile fuel. For the home, propane is used for central and space heating, water heating, cooking, clothes drying, and many other applications. On the farm, propane helps keep your livestock warm, poultry brooding, heats greenhouses and nurseries, dries crops, and meets dairy farm needs. Propane is the best choice for motor fuel with uses in forklifts, trucks, fleets, and any alternative fuel vehicle. Other businesses benefit by using propane for heating, in food preparation, cleaning, welding, and many other uses.
Propane has long been recognized as a clean, environmentally friendly energy source. It is an approved alternative fuel listed in both the Clean Air Act of 1990 and the National Energy Policy of 1992. Propane appliances are a great way to save money and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Propane is a clean-burning fuel, while 50% of electricity comes from power plants burning coal.
