Farm Bureau Requirements In Your State

[NJ Pinelands]

So I keep reading about the $500 Farm Bureau discounts . I decided to check with New Jersey today. They said the cost to join is $150 and you have to be a farmer/own farm land to join. I thought they would accept non-farmers and use the money for farmland preservation.So I wouldn’t qualify to be a member. Is this the case in every state ?

No such requirement here in NY beyond some optional questions in the application regarding agricultural involvement.

Not in Ohio. We do not own any farm land. $74.00 per year.

In WI it's just $40 per year and you have to be a member for 30 days before purchase to get the 500. No other requirements to join. I do think there is another tier that gets you voting rights in the organization or something

In Maryland they have an option for "friend of farmers" when signing up for the membership. I think its $70 too. I'm actually good friends with a farmer, so that option fit me perfectly.

Kentucky here. Live in a subdivision. Never farmed in my life. Anyone here can join Farm Bureau. $26/year in my county. I used it to get my $500 off when I took delivery of my XLT Hybrid on 1/2/22

Cougar, I clearly asked when I called. I don’t know why they didn’t tell me about being an associate member. Thank you for posting this. I am going to look through the website and check if associate members get discounts for vehicles and if the Maverick is mentioned. Going to call my dealer too. Thank you again. To me, a $500 savings is significant.

There are a lot of discounts available if you dig around. It depends on if your dealer will honor it and I doubt they will stack. If you own 100 shares of Ford stock you can qualify for x plan pricing which is probably the best you are going to see unless you are an employee.

It pays to ask!

 

[NJ Pinelands]

Well, it looks l can’t get the discount being an associate member and I can’t be a regular member because I am not a current or retired farmer.

Anyone know if you have to be a resident of that state to join that state’s Farm Bureau ?

Do you own land in Illinois?
How much was the Illinois fee? Seems Kentucky cost is low, but I don’t know if you have to be from Kentucky.Kentucky site says discount ended at the beginning of this month. Illinois site says it is good until January 2023. Also Kentucky site doesn’t mention the Maverick, but Illinois does.

Yes, Kentucky is $30 normally, $26 if you pay early. Kentucky does work on Maverick. I used it on mine.

Was that before January 2,2022? Their website mentions that cutoff date, but Illinois says January, 2023.
