What Maryland Farm Bureau Inc does
Mission
Maryland farm bureau, inc. Is an agricultural, not-for-profit membership organization whose mission is to protect and grow maryland agriculture and preserve rural life.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Educational outreach - the maryland farm bureau, inc. (mfb) attempts to educate the general public on the safe and abundant food supply in the united states. This is accomplished in a variety of ways. Mfb's quarterly magazine carries many articles that explain modern agriculture and just how ones food gets from the field to their fork. Other pamphlets and brochures explain various segments of the government relations - as each generation is further removed from the agricultural industry. With the help of other organizations, mfb trains teachers to be prepared to teach kids about agriculture in elementary and secondary schools.
Government relations - as each generation is further removed from the farm, it's increasingly important to be active in the legislative and regulatory arenas. Maryland farm bureau works with local, state, and national lawmakers and regulators to assure that agriculture's issues are raised and addressed. Mfb also works with individual members who need help with a variety of issues including zoning, water, drainage, regulatory compliance, etc.
Support of county farm bureaus - the farm bureau structure at the county level is all voluntary. Individual members who are farmers or people who have a passion/love for agriculture make up the boards and committees that carry out the work at the county level. Mfb provides support to the county farm bureaus through staff who assist them with program planning, leadership development, training, membership solicitation, etc.
The 3 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $5.7M to $5.2M (−9%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2022 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.
