Grassroots Policy Development
At Indiana Farm Bureau, policy starts with the people it impacts most – our members. Every issue we take on, every priority we pursue, comes directly from the experiences of farmers and rural community members across all 92 counties.
Through this grassroots process, you have a voice in shaping the policies that affect your farm, your community, and the future of Indiana agriculture.
How It Works
1. Members identify the issues.
Farm Bureau members share challenges and opportunities they see on their farms and in their communities.
2. Counties shape priorities.
Each county Farm Bureau brings those ideas forward, debating and refining them to reflect the needs of local farmers.
3. Delegates set the policy direction.
Delegates from across the state gather to discuss and vote, ensuring every member’s perspective helps guide the outcome.
4. INFB carries your voice to the Statehouse and beyond.
The final policy book becomes the foundation for Indiana Farm Bureau’s legislative and regulatory action at the local, state, and national levels.
Why it Matters
When lawmakers and regulators make decisions about agriculture, rural communities, or property rights, Indiana Farm Bureau speaks with one unified voice – yours. Our grassroots policy process ensures:
Issues are shaped by real farm families, not outside interests.
Advocacy reflects the diverse needs of rural Indiana.
Policy decisions today protect the future of farming tomorrow.
Get Involved
Every member has an opportunity to influence policy development. Whether you bring forward an idea at your county meeting or serve as a delegate at the state level, your perspective drives the process.
