Farm Bureau® is a membership organization
controlled by farmers and others who join the Illinois Farm Bureau (IFB®)
through their county Farm Bureau. There are 96 county organizations in Illinois.
The Illinois Farm Bureau was founded in 1916 by a group
of farmers who met at the University of Illinois to discuss the need
for
education, better information, and more effective farming practices. Today, IFB®
represents two out of three Illinois
farmers.
Early on, IFB® was involved in passing legislation and lobbying lawmakers about agricultural issues. At the same time, county Farm Bureaus provided a professional staff in accessible locations around the state. Together, IFB® and counties were instrumental in bringing soil and crop specialists to each county.
The
Henry County Farm Bureau® was formed in 1917.
