The County Agent And The Farm Bureau Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Objectives and Activities of the California Farm Bureau The farm bureau was developed in California to provide a channel through which the Agricultural Extension Service could more readily reach farm communities in its educational work. The first county farm bureau was organized in Humboldt County in 1914. By 1919 there were no less than 35 county farm bureaus; in 1932 there were 41. The com bined membership of all the county farm bureaus amounted to in the fiscal year 1919 - 20 and in 1931 - 32. The California Farm Eu reau Federation was organized in 1919 to make possible unified action by the county farm bureaus on state-wide and nation-wide problems affecting agriculture. The structure of the farm bureau in California was planned to afford farmers an effective vehicle for self-protection, self-representation, and self-development. The farm family and rural community were of more importance in the determination of the structure than any one farm commodity or economic function. The main objectives of the farm bu reau have been the development of farm people and the promotion of their welfare. These objectives have been supplemented by contributing objectives which have been within the reach of practical achievement.
