Membership Update for March 26, 2021

There is one week to go in the 2021 Membership Campaign. Our county membership teams have worked hard to communicate the value of membership to their friends, family, neighbors and local businesses. If you have not joined or renewed yet, we would like to invite you to join an organization that works together with farmers to advance agriculture and strengthen communities. 

As of today we have 66,023 paid active member families and continue to track toward our goal. The last day of the campaign is March 31, 2021, and our final target report will be April 2, 2021. 

County Farm Bureaus are important to the success of the organization. Congratulations to the following counties that have achieved active gain or higher at this point.
