What Is a County Farm Bureau?
Texas Farm Bureau (TFB) is a nonprofit membership organization. Its roots are local: each county Farm Bureau supports its own community through efforts such as scholarships and youth leadership programs. Volunteer county boards set local membership dues, so the cost varies from county to county.
TFB's 2025 year-in-review reports 482,543 member-families statewide. Another TFB-affiliated page puts membership at more than 500,000 households. Either way, the county bureau is the level at which most members first take part.
How the Structure Works
The organization is built from the county up. Members belong to a county Farm Bureau, county bureaus are led by volunteer boards and presidents, and the state organization speaks for them at the Capitol. The 2025 year in review gives a sense of the scale of county involvement:
- Field staff attended 1,560 county Farm Bureau board meetings.
- 68 county Farm Bureau presidents completed training for the Presidents' Proficiency Award.
- More than 100 county Farm Bureaus have a Facebook page.
How Policy Is Made
TFB describes its policy as starting at the county level. The steps below follow TFB's own account of the annual policy cycle:
- Fall policy development meetings. Members meet across the state to raise and discuss possible policy changes.
- County resolutions. County Farm Bureaus submit the policy resolutions adopted at their own meetings to the state office by a fall deadline.
- Resolutions Committee review. The committee considers county proposals in November and makes recommendations.
- Annual meeting. In December the recommendations go to voting delegates, and the TFB policy book guides the organization's positions.
The 2025 year in review reports 13 policy development meetings with 629 members from 158 counties. It also says 36 county leaders from 27 county Farm Bureaus visited the Capitol, and 20 testified at 43 legislative hearings. Questions about the process go to TFB's Research, Education and Policy Development department.

Youth Programs and Scholarships
County bureaus put a lot of money and effort into young people. According to the 2025 year in review:
- County Farm Bureaus donated more than $1.49 million to local youth through junior livestock shows, contests, and FFA and 4-H events.
- 1,072 FFA chapters and 1,537 4-H clubs are TFB members.
- The Clover Cash Grant Program awarded $14,000 to 14 county and state 4-H programs.
- 588 students in grades 8-12 completed the Student Success Series.
- Eight Collegiate Farm Bureau clubs hosted programming and activities.
- TFB and county Farm Bureaus awarded $1,416,864 in scholarships to high school seniors, college students and technical college students.
Young farmers and ranchers have their own track as well, with a spring conference, a fall tour, regional meetings and contests.
Ag Education
TFB's agricultural education programs reach classrooms across the state. The 2025 year in review reports that Ag Literacy Week reached 2,522 teachers and 91,875 students, Farm From School reached 4,935 teachers and 108,408 students, and the Summer Ag Institute served 61 teachers and 6,587 students. Sixty garden grants totaling $25,000 were awarded. County Farm Bureaus also give to local causes: 75 of them gave to 163 local organizations through Farmers Feeding Families.
