Why retain your associate membership, voting membership?
Why retain your associate membership, voting membership?
The Cook County Farm Bureau is an amazing value. At just $20 annually for Associate Members and only $45 for Voting Members, is it really a difficult decision?
During 2025, in his light hearted approach, Cook County Farm Bureau manager Bob Rohrer is writing Downwind, his monthly column, about the value proposition for Members following the announcement that COUNTRY Financial no longer requires a membership to access certain insurance policies.
January Downwind message: “Your Farm Bureau membership provides you and your family…”
- Access to local farm and food producers
- The opportunity to support Illinois farm families and food security
- Information about farming and your food
- Programs, education, events, and more
- Agriculture in the Classroom for local students, teachers, and parents
- 300,000+ discounts by using our Member Benefits Platform app/Abenity, website
