Indiana agriculture is strongest when we stand together. As a member of Indiana Farm Bureau, you help amplify the voice of farmers, protect rural communities and shape policies that keep agriculture growing.
Indiana Farm Bureau has robust advocacy efforts at the local, state and national levels. While INFB's well-respected lobbyists push through state legislation, on-the-ground teams assist individual farmers with local concerns. Members, leaders and staff also advocate in Washington to make sure federal policy favors farmers and agriculture.
Agriculture in the Classroom is a grassroots agricultural outreach program for school children in grades Pre-K through 12, facilitated by Indiana Farm Bureau and coordinated nationwide by the United States Department of Agriculture. This program helps kids understand where the food they eat is grown and how important farmers are to their daily lives.
Indiana Farm Bureau's Young Farmers and Ag Professionals program is dedicated to finding those who have a passion for agriculture and a hunger to learn more. We cultivate members to become the next generation of agricultural leaders through leadership development, awards, competitions and networking.
Your Indiana Farm Bureau membership gives you access to more than 250,000 offers such as discounts on hotels, rental cars, vacations, flowers, restaurants, movies, electronics, equipment, vehicles and more. Using just one of these offers can save you more than the cost of your annual membership.

(Indianapolis) – July 22, 2025 – Registration is open for Indiana Farm Bureau’s annual Drainage School, which provides an understanding of the laws and regulations impacting drainage decisions in Indiana. The workshop will be presented both virtually and in person at INFB headquarters in Indianapolis. The program will take place Tuesday, Aug. 26 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. ET.
In-person attendance, which includes lunch, is $50 per INFB member and $100 per non-member. Virtual attendance costs $25 per individual.
Farmers, public officials, agency personnel, attorneys and the general public are encouraged to attend. Attendees will gain a greater knowledge of drainage in relation to government takings, common law, general licenses and permit exemptions, and handbook updates. There will also be regulation updates on Waters of the United States (WOTUS), wetlands and Indiana dam safety. Speakers -- who represent a variety of industries including agriculture, local and state government and law -- will share relevant case studies and actionable steps for landowners and those working with landowners.
“Water supply continues to be a major topic for Hoosier farmers, as we focus on quality and quantity of water and navigate water policy to protect agriculture and rural communities,” said INFB President Randy Kron. “We hope attendees leave with a better understanding of the laws and regulations that control the drainage of land in Indiana, so they can be more informed to make important decisions on their farms.”
Registration for the event is required. Attendees may register at www.infb.org/events through Aug. 19 for in-person attendance and through Aug. 22 for virtual attendance. Continuing education credits for attorneys and surveyors are being sought.
