The  Farm Bureau was formed by a group of local farmers in 1917 to be a unified voice of farmers and ranchers. Farm Bureau is a nonprofit, grassroots organization whose purpose is to protect the family farm, and maintain the treasured natural resources that are so important to this county's vitality and lifestyle. It is supported by over 3,600 members. 

The Farm Bureau also works with local 4H and FFA organizations to support their programs and have provided over $90,000 to local student scholarships since 2000.
