Maricopa County Farm Bureau

Maricopa County Farm Bureau serves as the largest farm and ranch organization in Arizona, representing production agriculture across the state. Founded to advocate for agricultural interests, we analyze industry challenges and develop actionable solutions to enhance educational opportunities, economic growth, and social advancement within the agricultural sector. Our grassroots, non-governmental approach ensures members have a direct voice in shaping policies related to profitability, property rights, labor, water, trade, and environmental issues. Through initiatives like Fill Your Plate, we connect Arizona families with local agricultural resources while providing educational programs for students from primary grades through college. We offer discounted products and services to members, including access to exclusive events, risk management resources, and publications like CHOICES and Arizona Agriculture.

Our advocacy extends to county, state, and national levels, ensuring Arizona's agricultural community remains informed and empowered. With a focus on sustainability and economic impact, we support both traditional and urban farming practices. Our team, led by generational Yuma farmer John Boelts, combines hands-on agricultural experience with policy expertise to address evolving industry challenges. We maintain a digital platform for real-time updates, member-exclusive content, and interactive tools to enhance agricultural operations. Our commitment to transparency and member-driven priorities solidifies our role as Arizona's leading agricultural advocacy organization.
