Download NDFB's 2025 Policy Book
NDFB policies are the culmination of the policy development process that starts with individuals who need 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.
To see how your policy is put into action on the state level, read the final report for the 2025 North Dakota Legislative Session.

Get involved - Policy Development
Building and maintaining a thriving agricultural enterprise is harder than ever.
A misinformed public, harmful policies and regulations and tough economic conditions stand in the way of your goals.
Through NDFB, you have a direct voice in shaping policy that impacts your farm, your family, and your future.
Speak up - Respond to alerts, sign up for alerts
In addition to policy development, you can impact important issues by responding to NDFB's Action Alerts to send messages to elected officials.
