Happy Birthday, Promotion and Engagement! 🥳

Wisconsin Farm Bureau is celebrating ten years of empowering members and helping farmers share their stories. What began as a grassroots effort in 2016 with the creation of the WFBF Promotion and Education Committee has grown into a dynamic, statewide initiative that continues to evolve as agriculture and consumer expectations change.

Wisconsin Farm Bureau’s Promotion and Engagement program empowers farmers to engage with consumers and share the story of agriculture. The program is designed to build awareness and understanding of agriculture through consumer engagement, grassroots education and training and advocacy.

WFBF's P&E program is proudly supported by the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation.
