Policy & Advocacy

Policy & Advocacy - A Voice for you

Image of the ND State CapitolOne of the most important services NDFB provides its members is a voice on important issues facing our state and our nation.

The process begins at the county Farm Bureau, where ideas become “resolutions.” If adopted by the delegates to the NDFB annual meeting, these resolutions become the policy the organization advocates to the state legislature or nationally, to Congress.

It’s the machinery our members use to build positive change. The policy development process is the backbone tradition that makes Farm Bureau a progressive, visionary organization, shaping agriculture’s -- and North Dakota's -- future through advocacy.
