In January 2020, the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation launched a federal Political Action Committee, or PAC, after 93% of MFBF delegates voted in favor of its establishment at the 2019 Annual Convention Business Session.

The Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation Furthering Agriculture for Rural Mississippians Fund Political Action Committee, also referred to as the F.A.R.M. Fund, is comprised of Farm Bureau members from across Mississippi who voluntarily contribute to efforts supporting agriculture and rural Mississippi’s friends in Congress. In 2020, the F.A.R.M. fund helped over 29 candidates for Congress from across the country with a combined support of over $64,000. Over 350 farm leaders contributed to its success with a combined total of more than $77,000 donated.

Have you done your part to help the industry that you depend on?

As people with a stake in Mississippi agriculture, we humbly ask you to do your part to support the F.A.R.M. Fund at some level and stand with us to make sure the voice of Mississippi agriculture is heard in Washington.  Enclosed is a contribution form to make your contribution. Contributions must be made using a personal check or credit card, not through a corporation. Under Federal Election Commission rules, corporations are prohibited from contributing to the F.A.R.M. Fund.

If you have questions about the F.A.R.M. Fund, please contact MFBF General Counsel Kent Bloodworth at 601.977.4104 or kbloodworth@msfb.org, or MFBF National Affairs Coordinator Justin Ferguson at 601.720.4238 or jferguson@msfb.org.
