AFBF membership exceeds 6 million, a record high Farm Bureau membership across the nation has surpassed the 6 million mark—6,199,285 member families. The milestone was passed as state Farm Bureaus reported 486,770 additional members signed up for Farm Bureau membership in 2006. This is the largest growth in the history of the organization, according to AFBF President Bob Stallman. “Reaching the 6-million-member mark is a matter of pride for the organization, its leaders and everyone who believes in Farm Bureau’s mission,” Stallman said. “It has been another challenging economic year for many of America’s farm families, but our membership strength will bolster Farm Bureau as we work with our members and for our members to surface new ideas and solutions in the coming year.”
