About Us
The Utah Farm Bureau Federation (UFBF) is the state's largest voluntary organization of farmers and ranchers – but really, we consist of more than 34,000 member families committed to protecting Utah’s farms and ranches, and ensuring a safe, fresh and locally grown food supply. Our members live in all of Utah's 29 counties and belong to county Farm Bureaus, which, in turn, comprise the Utah Farm Bureau Federation.
Our Organization
The Utah Farm Bureau Federation is an affiliate of the American Farm Bureau Federation, which boasts more than 6 million members nationwide.
Farm Bureau is an independent, non-governmental, voluntary organization of farm and ranch families united for the purposes of addressing their problems and formulating action to achieve educational improvement, economic opportunity and social advancement and, thereby, to promote the national well-being. Farm Bureau is local, county, state, national and international in its scope and influence, and is non-partisan, non-sectarian and non-secret in character. Farm Bureau is the voice of agriculture at all levels.
UFBF represents all commodity interests and is involved in all issues that are of concern to the state’s farmers and ranchers, including taxation, property rights and services to the farm community.
The organization works to support its producer members through legislative advocacy, leadership development programs, commodity associations, rural health & safety programs, insurance products, marketing, and other services.

Grassroots
The Farm Bureau proudly claims a grassroots structure. Numerous volunteer leaders serve on county Farm Bureau boards and committees, providing direction to the state and national organization. The public policy process begins at the county level. There, members research and discuss issues affecting rural Utah and America and develop policies that are passed and sent on to the state resolutions committee then potentially on to the American Farm Bureau. Full-time legislative representatives work to support those policies at the Utah State Legislature and the U.S. Congress. In addition, a variety of Farm Bureau programs and committees work to support members, educate the public and enforce the mission statement.
