The Policy Development Process begins with the county Farm Bureau member. If a member has an idea, need or concern that Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation could help address, they present it to their county Farm Bureau or commodity committee.

County
Farm Bureau
or Commodity
Committee

The county Farm Bureau or commodity committee researches and considers the member’s idea. They then work with the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation Public Policy Department to craft the most effective language for the policy.

3

Resolutions

After the county Farm Bureau or commodity committee creates a policy, they present it to one representative from every county Farm Bureau at the annual Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation Resolutions Meeting in November. These representatives discuss and revise the policy as needed before approving it to be brought before the voting delegate body.

Voting Delegation

Delegates from every country Farm Bureau vote on the policy at the annual Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation Business Meeting in December. If the policy is approved, it is listed in the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation Policy Book. If the policy has a national implication, it is forwarded to the American Farm Bureau Federation.
