Join the King-Pierce Farm Bureau
Farmer/Rancher Membership
$125
An Farmer/Rancher Membership enables your voice to be heard regarding issues that affect agriculture and your livelihood. If you have an agriculture income, you may qualify to be a voting member of Farm Bureau. Let’s work together to defend our right to farm and ranch, produce healthy food and preserve agriculture for future generations.
Agriculture Community Partner
$125
If you own a business in Washington State and value agriculture, consider joining Farm Bureau with a Agriculture Community Partner Membership. Farmers and Ranchers enjoy a certain livelihood, but it’s the business end that helps that livelihood exist. We understand how business and agriculture go hand in hand and how important this work is for our local economy.
Friend of the Farmer Membership
$25
A Friend of the Farmer Membership is a great way to support the work of Farm Bureau. Not everyone is a farmer or works in agriculture, yet everyone depends on agricultural products on a daily basis. At $20 per year, you can send a message that farmers and ranchers are appreciated, help fund scholarships, and assist with supporting local agriculture.
All members enjoy benefits.
See details on the Washington Farm Bureau website.
