ABC's of Membership
Why should I be a Farm Bureau Member?
Advocacy
If we don't speak up for the interests and truth about agriculture...who will? No one knows better what agriculture IS, what agriculture DOES, and what agriculture NEEDS than people who live it daily. People in high places have a voice but don't have a clue...leaving us to promote the facts about American Farming and Ranching. These efforts are lead by our Public Policy Committee.
Benefits
Many discounts and special officers exist at the local, state, and national level for Farm Bureau Members. To see what is offered, visit our Benefits page!
The Kansas Farm Bureau also offers benefits. Go to www.kfb.org to see the state and nationwide benefits.
Community
Farming and ranching is more than a job...it's a lifestyle, and those around us form our community. We share each other's experiences...the joys, the discomforts, the trials and the victories. Involved Farm Bureau members are a close-knit group!
Directors who care The Board of Directors meets each month at the Farm Bureau office to discuss the issues that matter most to residents of Franklin County. Meet the Board!
Education Farm Bureau is dedicated to educating our youth about agriculture, the food supply, and putting a "face to the plate." At the local level, educational programs are offered by the Agricultural Education & Promotion Committee, Learn more!
Food We all love food, right? Farm Bureau works against organizations that want to make drastic changes to the food we eat, what is available, how it is produced, and how much it costs the consumer!
Grant Opportunities Grants are offered by Kansas Farm Bureau to local county Farm Bureaus and FFA chapters to create improved leadership opportunities for our youth!
Healthy Living Franklin County Farm Bureau sponsors a variety of events to improve and insure the health of you and your family, such as the Stroke Detection Programs, held at our local Farm Bureau office.
Insurance Farm Bureau is a name that is often associated with insurance...if you're in need of some, contact our local Farm Bureau Insurance Agents, who have a strong tradition of service in Franklin County!
Joyous Get-togethers Voting members look forward to events like our annual meeting, held each August to conduct business, eat wonderful food, and celebrate the successes of Farm Bureau over the past year.
Knowledge Be on the cutting edge of news in legislation, agriscience, and smart financial practices as a member of Farm Bureau!
Leadership Farm Bureau is seen as a influential leadership group, both locally and among agricultural and legislative circles across our state and nation. Involved members have the opportunity to develop the leadership skills they need to be successful in any endeavor! Who are the leaders of your local Farm Bureau? Meet them!
Membership...By now, you should be able to see how valuable Farm Bureau membership can be! If not, there's still 1/2 of the alphabet left...read on!
Networking Meet agriculturalists with similar interests. Share ideas about your operation and receive new ones from your peers in Farm Bureau! Young Agriculturalists should consider joining Young Farmers & Ranchers!
Opportunities to Experience the Farm School children from area Kansas City often experience life on the farm with "Day on the Farm" fieldtrips to Dunn's Landing, co-sponsored by FCFB. Our members also assist with the Day on the Farm held for 500 Franklin County third graders each October at Sylvester Ranch, southwest of Ottawa.
Public Policy Our Public Policy Committee keeps abreast of legislation that affects us all, both locally and across the state and nation. This committee helps to express your views to our government and elected officials. Learn more!
Questions Answered The KFB Legal Foundation offers free legal advice to Farm Bureau's agriculturalists, and assists in writing letters and bills that advocate for agriculture.

Underdogs Unite Less than 1.5% of Americans are still actively involved in production agriculture, but we feed the entire nation. Our small numbers make us the underdogs, who sometimes seem to be without a voice. Farm Bureau has a powerful voice, and is proudly known as the "Voice of Agriculture"!
Vacations & Tours Frequent trips and bus tours are sponsored at reasonable cost to Farm Bureau members. To learn more about past and future trips, click here!
Water, Water, Water Water is the basis of all life. Conservation of water, soil, air, and so much more is a part of our NER (Natural and Environmental Resources) Committee, Learn more! Kansas Farm Bureau has been instrumental in influencing the governor's 50 Year Water Plan.
