CA Farm Bureau
VerifiedOnline/Digital
From its beginnings, the California Farm Bureau Federation has worked to protect and promote family farms and ranches, and to find solutions to problems facing agriculture and rural communities.
CFBF was founded on Oct. 23, 1919, when delegates from 32 county Farm Bureaus met in Berkeley to create the statewide organization, which was initially housed on the University of California campus. The university and its Cooperative Extension Service prompted the founding of Farm Bureau. Source
