Farm Bureau® is a free, independent, nongovernmental and voluntary organization of farm and ranch families united for the purpose of analyzing agricultural problems and formulating action to achieve educational awareness and social advancement, and thereby, to promote the national well-being. Farm Bureau® is non-partisan and is local, statewide, national and international in its scope and influence. Farm Bureaus are located in all 50 states and Puerto Rico.

Isn’t Farm Bureau an insurance company?
Rhode Island Farm Bureau Federation is a grassroots advocacy organization. American National (formerly Farm Family Insurance) is a separate entity and insurance discounts with American National are one of many valuable benefits available to Farm Bureau members.

Interested in Starting a Farm? Look at our “So You Want to Start a Farm” sheet which has a lot of resources to help you as you grow your new or existing farm.

This compilation, issued by the RI Farm Bureau, is designed to be a guide for farmers to the maze of Rhode Island General Laws specific to agriculture. It does not make the maze simpler. It just enables finding where specific issues are located within the maze. Its purpose is to help farmers be more efficient in finding the provisions of law that apply to their operations.
