We are often asked what the Farm Bureau does. We try to articulate the reasons and give examples of the work that is done on behalf of California Farmers. But honestly so much is not quantifiable because it’s often just being in the room and providing a voice and some reason as to why a new law or regulation is bad for farmers. Sometimes that is enough to block or alter those bad policies. The old saying is “you’re either at the table, or on the menu”, and it is 100% true. Farm Bureau is at the table, so your family farm can do what it’s good at, and grow our safe and affordable food!
