Sacramento County Farm Bureau (SCFB) is a non-governmental, non-profit, grass-roots organization whose purpose is to represent
and promote agriculture in Sacramento County
Our History
The Sacramento County Farm Bureau was established in
1917 to support the Sacramento County farming community. In 1946,
SCFB was incorporated to support its' mission to solve problems relating to the farm, farm home,
and rural community. They recognized the advantages of organized action to help enhance their visibility as an
industry among an ever-changing world and economy.
Our Present
4,000 acres of vital farmland is lost each year to urbanization. There is a great concern among producers
that not only the practice of farming and ranching is decreasing, but that their rural way of life is being threatened.
Farm Bureau strives to protect and improve the ability of farmers and ranchers engaged in production agriculture to provide
a reliable supply of food and fiber through responsible stewardship of resources.
To get involved in protecting family farms, join the Farm Bureau's FARM TEAM.
Our Vision
As the earth's original conservationists, producers have a keen interest in preserving our precious land for future generations.
Farmers are concerned with natural resources, animal health, water, and air quality.
Today, SCFB continues to support the farming community, and so much more.
