Welcome to the Bosque County Farm Bureau website - We are sorry for the inconvenience but our Navigation tools are temporally out of service. Please go the link on this page titled ******Bosque County Recipes and Reflections and click on it. It will pull up a page with the navigation options at the top and you can choose the folder you are searching for. We are sorry for any inconvenience and hopefully this will be fixed soon.

At this site, we will try to provide timely and updated information pertaining to agriculture, services to members, and interesting agricultural links.

The Bosque County Farm Bureau welcomes members committed to the advancement of agriculture and the proliferation of the rural way of life and the values that accompany it. Members are not required to be directly involved in the production of agriculture.

The Bosque County Farm Bureau serves as the “Voice of Agriculture” for Bosque County. It was chartered in 1950 and has been highly involved in protecting the welfare of farmers and ranchers on local, state and national levels.

We provide a wide range of benefits to our members that are both attractive and cost-effective. For more information, please contact the local office.

A few of the ways that Bosque County Farm Bureau represents the farming and ranching industry are listed below:

“The Bosque County Farm Bureau is part of a much larger organization of both state and national levels. All decisions and actions taken are arrived at by a locally elected board of directors. The directors are individuals who are fully involved in and committed to production agriculture.

The Farm Bureau is a “grassroots” organization. Ideas and concerns always begin at the county level and can be addressed by members during the annual meeting held each October. Resolutions addressed and voted on at the county level are forwarded for state level consideration. This process is one of the reasons why Farm Bureau is so powerful. The members have a voice!!

We are highly involved at both the state and national levels protecting and influencing legislation that affects production agriculture and Bosque County Farm Bureau Members. Dues collected and money raised are spent to promote agriculture and the rural way of life.
