Welcome to the Community Action Group program!

Since 1941, groups of Farm Bureau members across Michigan have been meeting monthly to discuss the issues that affect their business and their way of life. These "Community Action Group" meetings allow farmers to talk about problems and opportunities that affect their county, their state and their nation, and then take positive, united action on those concerns. But community action groups are much more!

  • They anchor Farm Bureau's grass roots communications system by serving as an organized sounding board for policy ideas and suggestions.
  • They allow members to grow as leaders in their organization and community.
  • They provide a friendly atmosphere for the expression of individual opinions and the strengthening of neighborly bonds.
  • They give members a chance to socialize and have fun with their fellow Farm Bureau members.

Your participation in a Community Action Group has an important purpose: to be the backbone of the most proactive, successful farm organization in the nation. The voices of individual farmers, amplified through hundreds of community action groups, are heard in the halls of the legislature, in Congress and across the world.

Congratulations on becoming a part of this influential network!
