OREGON FARM BUREAU
Membership Starts Here
When you join Farm Bureau, you become a member of a County Farm Bureau. Voting members (who must generate at least $2,500 in gross income annually from farming or ranching activities) are the engine that run our grassroots organization. Voting members can serve as volunteer leaders at the county level; identify issues that can be worked upon at the local level and potentially state level; and make real change for the betterment of Oregon agriculture.
​
Each County Farm Bureau is unique and offers programs, activities, and events specifically for the local members.
​
