Policy Development

Florida Farm Bureau members create our organization’s policies. Grassroots participation builds comprehensive, responsible approaches to issues of concern.

Policy positions begin at our County Farm Bureaus, where ‘ideas’ become resolutions. Each proposal is discussed and considered in detail before a final decision is made at the Farm Bureau State Annual Meeting in October, when members representing each county Farm Bureau vote upon each resolution. Find out what goes into making your idea a resolution with the Policy Development Manual.

The process of crafting policies to benefit members is a respected Farm Bureau tradition. That is why we consider the policies approved each year to be the fundamental guide for all of our activities.

Our Advisory Committees are key in the policy development process. Committee members are experts in their commodity or issue area and help identify emerging challenges, review policy ideas and advise leadership to keep our organization responsive, informed and focused on what matters to you.
