Suwannee County Farm Bureau is joining with Florida Farm Bureau Federation and every other county Farm Bureau in the state to recruit new members during August, “Get a Member Month.”
“Our Gainesville-based state organization boasts more than 140,000 member-families,” said Randall Dasher, president. “We believe there are thousands more out there who share Farm Bureau’s values and can benefit from membership.”
The mission of Suwannee County Farm Bureau and Florida Farm Bureau is to increase income for farmer and improve the quality of rural life. Anyone can be a Farm Bureau member.
“We have many members who are not active farmers, but who have an affinity for agriculture and who benefit from the valuable benefits they receive as members,” said Dasher.
People who join Suwannee County Farm Bureau and also become members of the Florida Farm Bureau Federation. Member benefits include access to a full line of insurance through the Florida Farm Bureau Insurance Companies, a subscription to Florida Agriculture, Farm Bureau’s award-winning monthly magazine and membership in the Farm Bureau Buyers’ Club which allows them to purchase quality “Florida’s Best” products through their county Farm Bureaus. Members can also purchase products produced by Farm Bureau members in other parts of the country.
Members can take advantage of the services of Florida Farm Bureau Insurance and Farm Bureau Bank and receive a range of discounts from a host of partners including Dodge (a $500 discount on select Dodge vehicles), Grainger, Farm Bureau Apparel and AmerLink Log Homes. Members also receive award-winning monthly magazine FloridaAgricutlure. Travel benefits available to members include discounts at Choice Hotels, theme park tickets and many car rental companies.
That’s just a partial listing of our member benefits. Farm Bureau is also the state’s strongest advocate for the family farm and its heritage. We work for a fair and just system of taxation, limited government intrusion and regulation, private property rights and a competitive, free-market economic system.
