Download NDFB's 2026 Policy Book
NDFB policies are the culmination of a policy development process that begins with individuals seeking solutions to problems.
Resolutions become organizational policy at the NDFB state annual meeting, when members representing each county Farm Bureau vote on each forwarded resolution.
NDFB members also weigh in on national issues. These policy positions are forwarded to the American Farm Bureau Federation for consideration at the AFBF Annual Meeting.
