Delaware Farm Bureau

Our Mission: To promote and protect Delaware agriculture through education and advocacy to ensure a quality of life for farmer and their consumers.

Since it was established in 1944, the Delaware Farm Bureau has become one of the strongest farm organizations in the First State. Delaware Farm Bureau is a non-profit and nongovernmental organization that serves as a unified voice for farmers in the State of Delaware. Controlled by its members through the democratic process and financed through membership dues, this group of over 1,700 farm famili

es and associate members help form a national organization that is over six million strong. These families are united for the purpose of preserving agriculture as an industry and way of life; Farm Bureau is their vehicle to accomplish this. Delaware Farm Bureau is politically active, but nonpartisan. On both the local and national front, Farm Bureau has defended agriculture against unreasonable taxes and regulations, threats to property rights and damaging misconceptions about farming.

Farmers are irrigating their fields to help prevent their crops from succumbing to the extensive heat. We are reminding farmers to make sure their irrigation systems are not spraying water onto state highways and roads. Farmers should check the end guns on their pivots and make adjustments, if necessary, to minimize spraying the road.

Wet roadways reduce pavement friction, which could create a hazard for motorists, especially for motorcycle riders. A splattered windshield limits visibility, also creating a hazard, however briefly. Drivers should approach visible wet roads with caution.

In celebration of America's 250th birthday, the AFBF is celebrating FARM 250 which highlights farmers and ranchers who feed America's families and steward the land.

Advancing Innovation

In order to grow enough food for America's families, farmers utilize cutting-edge technology such as robotic milking machines, GPS guided planting, sprayers that can target a single w**d in a field of crops and vertical greenhouses.

These new technologies come from forward thinking entrepreneurs. To help entrepreneurs grow their ideas into products, the AFBF developed a competition more than a decade ago called Ag Innovation Challenge to serve as an accelerator exclusively for rural inventors delivering solutions for farmers.

Father's Day is right around the corner, and we are celebrating the Dads of Delaware Farm Bureau!

Today's is Michael Lynch!
Michael is such a hard working dad! He works full time off the farm and then comes home to farm. But he is never too busy to give the girls rides on the tractor, read books, play blocks or snuggle them while sharing snacks. These two girls may have him wrapped around their little fingers. But they truly love their daddy.

Maci Dickerson, Connie Fox, and Mary B. Gooden represented the Delaware Farm Bureau at the ACE Summit last week! Attendees learned how to shape their own narrative, share their story through social media, effectively speak with reporters, and set ambitious goals. They also heard from a panel of women in legislative positions who worked to initiate the campaign of the International Year of the Woman Farmer over ten years ago.

Maci had the opportunity to meet with U.S. Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester and our Delaware delegation to present them Delaware Farm Bureau t-shirts and hats.

Feeding Families - Did you know that almost all of the food grown in the U.S. comes from family-owned farms? In fact, of the 1.9 million farms stretching across the country, 97% of them are family owned. Today, less than 2% of Americans work on the farm, yet they are able to grow an abundant food supply for the remaining 98% of America’s families!
