Wyoming Farm Bureau Federation

**Who We Are** The Wyoming Farm Bureau Federation is the state’s largest organization of farmers and ranchers with over 2,500 farmer/rancher member families. Their voices are combined with nearly 7,500 associate member families who support agriculture and private property rights and are committed to protecting Wyoming’s farms and ranches. Our members live in all 23 Wyoming counties. The American Farm Bureau Federation has close to six million member families. The Wyoming Farm Bureau Federation, which is financed by membership dues, is a grassroots agriculture organization that begins with individual ranchers/farmers, recognizing issues of concern to agriculture and discussing them with fellow members. Discussions continue through county, district and state levels to formulate the policies which guide the work of the Federation. Resolutions with national impact are discussed at the national level as well. The Wyoming Farm Bureau is dedicated to the principles upon which our nation was built: constitutional government, the competitive enterprise system, private property rights and individual freedom. We believe it is the right of citizens to organize and speak through one voice, using the principle of uniting to get things done on the basis of majority decision after discussion and debate. **What We Do for Wyoming** Agriculture keeps Wyoming strong; the Wyoming Farm Bureau Federation keeps agriculture strong! The primary goals of the Wyoming Farm Bureau Federation are to represent the voices of Wyoming farmers and ranchers through grassroots policy development while focusing on protecting private property rights, strengthening agriculture, and supporting farm and ranch families through advocacy, education, and leadership development. We work for you if your private property is your backyard in town or if your property is in the country. Our work is driven by the policy book that is developed by Wyoming Farm Bureau Federation members starting at the grassroots level. We are your voice for agriculture in the legislative, regulatory, judicial and public arenas. The Wyoming Farm Bureau Federation works diligently to: - Limit taxes and government spending; - Limit unnecessary and costly regulations; - Ensure access to safe tools that are essential to the success of your farm or ranch; and - Provide training opportunities through board meetings, workshops, county, district and state meetings and the [Young Farmer & Rancher program](https://www.wyfb.org/Get-Involved/YFR).
