Voice of Michigan agriculture

Our strength in numbers gives us an advantage and aids in our ability to effectively impact issues important to you.

Our purpose is clear and simple. Michigan Farm Bureau's mission is to represent, protect, and enhance the business, economic, social and educational interests of our members. This includes demonstrating how farmers care about safe food, the environment, their animals and Michigan's future. 

Grassroots legacy

As a grassroots organization, membership guarantees you representation at every stage — at the local level with your county Farm Bureau, state level with the Michigan Farm Bureau and national level with the American Farm Bureau Federation, providing opportunities at every phase for members to express their opinions and be involved in decision- and policy-making.
