Florida Farm Bureau - the voice of agriculture


We are the Sunshine State's largest general agricultural organization with more than 140,000 member-families representing Farm Bureaus in 60 counties. Membership provides a multitude of benefits, and you don't have to be a farmer to be a member of Florida Farm Bureau - find out more.


Hamilton County Farm Bureau President Damon Deas presents one of the "Don't Cap Our Future" hats signed by board members to Congressional aide Ashley Cook of Sen. George LeMieux's Jacksonville office while FFB National Affairs Coordinator Adam Basford looks on. The grassroots "Don't Cap Our Future" campaign encourages  Farm Bureau members from across the nation to sign hats and present them to members of Congress. Congress is considering restrictive climate change legislation that could hurt agriculture, consumers and the national economy.
