New York Farm Bureau is a non-governmental, volunteer organization that takes on the important task of addressing economic and public policy issues within the agriculture industry. Financed and controlled by its member families, the bureau ensures that it represents the majority opinion of its members through a grassroots policy development process. This process allows for problem identification at the county level, leading to resolutions at the New York Farm Bureau Annual Meeting.

The mission of New York Farm Bureau is to support the current agricultural needs while creating opportunities for its members in the future, through advocacy and education. With a forward-looking vision, the bureau aims to unite the diverse farm community and build a stronger food system and rural economy. In addition to its policy work, New York Farm Bureau offers various programs and services.

These include agricultural education through the NYFB Foundation, assistance with workers' compensation, promotion and education initiatives, legal affairs support, and programs for young farmers and ranchers. Membership benefits also include insurance and banking services, farm equipment and supplies, travel and entertainment options, family health services, business support, and resources for leaders. New York Farm Bureau is a driving force behind the success of the agriculture industry in New York, and its commitment to empowering its members and advocating for their interests sets it apart.
