The Benefits of Membership
For more than a century the farmers, ranchers, and nurserymen in San Diego County have recognized that a collective voice is much more likely to be heard than anyone speaking alone. While issues such as water, labor, and pests have been around as long as Farm Bureau, others, such as runoff monitoring, ag/urban conflicts, and land use have gained in significance. All the while, the regulatory environment has becomes more and more restrictive. By banding together, the farm community and those who care about local, thriving agriculture, can make certain they are heard and have an improved chance of success.
As a non-profit organization, San Diego Farm Bureau depends on the income it receives in member dues.
