At every level, from your local county Farm Bureau to American Farm Bureau Federation, we are advocating for policies that protect the livelihoods of farmers and ranchers, expand opportunities and strengthen the future of rural America.

When market volatility put America’s dairy farms under pressure, Farm Bureau helped deliver a solution: the Dairy Margin Coverage (DMC) program. DMC provides crucial risk management by paying farmers when the calculated national margin falls below a farmer’s selected coverage trigger.

The results show DMC’s impact. In 2023 alone, DMC delivered over $1.29 billion to 37,468 dairy operations, with average payments of $34,526 per farm. These funds helped farmers navigate steep input costs and weak milk prices, supporting on farm stability and rural economies.

DMC is a prime example of the Farm Bureau Advantage—policy advocacy that results in real, measurable support for the backbone of American and Florida agriculture. Because when Farm Bureau wins, our members win🏆

Thousands of jars of peanut butter are making their way into Florida homes, thanks to the generosity of volunteers like Florida Farm Bureau, Florida 4-H Youth Development Program and Florida FFA Association, who rallied behind this year’s Peanut Butter Challenge.

The 44,564 pounds collected statewide exceeds last year’s total by about 5,000 pounds and is enough to feed 10,128 people, based on the average U.S. consumption of 4.4 pounds per person.
