How Does Farm Bureau Support Pennsylvanians?
Farmers
Whether it’s local produce bound for the farmers’ markets, grain exported to faraway lands or an equestrian training center, Farm Bureau understands just how much government policies can impact how food is grown, shipped and sold.
Together, we work to ensure farms of all sizes and types can provide consumers safe, affordable and abundant food supplies.
