Florida Farm Bureau - the voice of agriculture


Florida Farm Bureau Federation is the Sunshine State's largest general agricultural organization with more than 144,000 member-families representing Farm Bureaus in 60 counties.

I was on a conference call earlier this week with the Future of Florida Agriculture Task Force to discuss the IFAS budget reductions.
