A voice for you
One 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.

Policy development timeline
August - County Farm Bureaus begin policy development meetings to surface and discuss issues important to county members. It is at these meetings that policy recommendations on county, state and national issues are developed.
September-October - County policy development meetings continue and county annual meetings are held to vote on resolutions counties have developed. Resolutions that are state or national in scope are forwarded to the district level. There are nine Farm Bureau districts in the state.
