The Georgia Farm Bureau Federation (GFB) is Georgia's largest voluntary agricultural organization with nearly 400,000 member families. It is an independent, non-governmental, membership organization. The membership is mainly composed of farm families in rural communities. ==History== Farmers in the early 1900s formed a Georgia Farm Bureau Federation, which evolved as an indirect result of the establishment of Georgia Extension Service programs.〔Willard Range, Century of Georgia Agriculture 1850-1950 (Athens:University of GA Press, 1954) p.234〕 The group paid membership dues to the American Farm Bureau and the 1921 national convention was even held 〔Transcript, AFBF Annual Meeting Minutes, Nov. 21-23, 1921, Atlanta, Georgia〕 in Atlanta. However, the organization dwindled during the Great Depression. The current Georgia Farm Bureau was re-formed in 1937 by 50 north Georgia "dirt farmers" who wanted a unified voice in dealing with legislators in both Atlanta and Washington, D.C. That primary mission has not changed and today the Georgia Farm Bureau Federation continues to represent agriculture with a grassroots network of 159 county Farm Bureau organizations. Each county farm bureau has its own by-laws and is led by local officers and a board of directors.
