Farm Bureau is an independent organization of farm and ranch families who have joined to solve their problems through united action.  The Farm Bureau is totally controlled by its members through majority decision and is financed by voluntary dues.  The Texas Farm Bureau has more than 400,000 member families in 207 organized counties.  It is affiliated with the American Farm Bureau Federation, which has a membership in excess of 6 million member families in all 50 states and Puerto Rico. Texas Farm Bureau is responsible for Farm Bureau® membership and programs within Texas.

Policies that guide the organization originate at the grass roots level with each member given an opportunity to participate.  Polices are adopted after discussion and exchange of ideas at county, state and national conventions.

Farm Bureau's structure guarantees membership control.  Members originate policies, and through their delagates, control state and national policies and elect officers and directors.

Farm Bureau members get action on policies by expressing their desires to their elected representatives.  Legislative staffs in Austin and Washington, D.C. inform lawmakers on Farm Bureau's position, and call for membership action when necessary.
