History
For more than three-quarters of a century, Kentucky Farm Bureau has served as the "Voice of Kentucky Agriculture," representing the interests of agricultural producers and rural communities. The organization was founded at a meeting in Louisville, in November 1919. Membership has soared to more than 500,000 Kentucky families, placing Kentucky in the top two to three state Farm Bureaus for the last decade.
The organization's staying power has been the result of many factors, but the most important is the nature of Farm Bureau's leadership structure. Control of Farm Bureau, whether at the county, state or national level, is vested in the hands of agricultural producers, comprising the grass-roots leadership.
