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.
Below is the County Farm Bureau monthly meeting schedule. For exact times and locations, email the field representative for each County Farm Bureau (scroll down) or email elizabeth@oregonfb.org.
