Political Action

Farm Bureau policy holds the state’s agriculture department accountable while maintaining a collaborative relationship for the long-term benefit of farming.

Farm Bureau supports and works for legislation that provides for a seasonal, short- and long-term workforce so we can continue to feed Michigan families.

Michigan’s Right to Farm Act protects our rich agricultural legacy. Farm Bureau’s member-created policy ensures this landmark legislation is not weakened or jeopardized.

We advocate for fair and open trade and support initiatives that allow Michigan farmers to compete nationally and globally.

Farm Bureau works to ensure all rulemaking processes and reforms that can impact members are supported by sound science and conducted with transparency.

The Farm Bill is mission-critical legislation with big implications for MFB members. Farm Bureau works to ensure farmers are front-and-center in each iteration of the bill.

Farm Bureau supports and fights for fair and equitable taxation laws that allow farm families to sustain their generational businesses. 

Our policy supports voluntary, incentive-based tools and technical assistance to help maximize carbon sequestration and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
