Nevada Farm Bureau Federation

What Nevada Farm Bureau Federation does

Nevada Farm Bureau Federation is a private, non-profit membership organization founded in 1919 and headquartered in Sparks, Nevada. It functions as the statewide umbrella for 14 county Farm Bureaus and serves more than 3,400 farms and ranches across the state, providing advocacy for Nevada agriculture at both the state and federal levels, alongside agricultural education programs such as Ag in the Classroom, Young Farmers & Ranchers, and a USDA Risk Management Agency-supported Small Farm Conference.

The federation generates revenue primarily through membership dues across two classes — Farmer/Rancher members and Associate members — and supplements this with member-benefit partnerships that deliver negotiated discounts (industrial supplies via Grainger, medical transportation via EVACU, lodging via Wyndham Hotels, plus Nevada Dairy Council programming). It operates two affiliated entities that expand its institutional footprint: Nevada Heritage Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable arm for educational and scholarship activities, and Nevadans For Families and Agriculture, a political action committee supporting electoral activity outside the federation's 501(c)(5) restrictions. Leadership comprises President Bevan Lister, Vice President Darrell Pursel, and Director of Ag Education Robin Futch.

The federation's product surface is non-digital by design: its primary outputs are policy advocacy, in-person conferences (including the 106th Annual Meeting in November 2025, the 107th scheduled for November 2026, and the ACE Summit in Washington, D.C. in June 2026), scholarships, and third-party benefit access. No technology platform, software product, or proprietary data asset is disclosed in the input, and the organization operates as a traditional advocacy and member-services body rather than a technology company.

Direct peers

• Kansas Farm Bureau: A state-level Farm Bureau serving a similar livestock-and-crop producer base with the same membership tiers, legislative advocacy focus, and county chapter network.
• California Farm Bureau Federation: A neighboring state Farm Bureau federation operating the same membership-based agricultural advocacy model for farmers and ranchers, with similar programs (YF&R, scholarships, lobbying) and similar value proposition around regulatory and legislative advocacy.
• Iowa Farm Bureau Federation: A flagship state Farm Bureau federation with the same membership-dues revenue model, advocacy on commodity and trade policy, and parallel programs (Young Farmers, Ag in the Classroom, scholarships).
• Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation: State Farm Bureau federation running the same county-chapter federated structure, advocacy, and member-benefit suite — directly comparable peer for benchmarking programs and engagement.
• Texas Farm Bureau: A large state Farm Bureau federation offering the same membership structure, advocacy priorities, and grassroots lobbying playbook, scaled to a much larger farm/ranch population — useful reference for what Nevada's model could expand toward.
• Oregon Farm Bureau: Another state Farm Bureau federation with overlapping membership tiers (active farmer/rancher + associate), comparable agricultural policy advocacy focus, and similar federal/state legislative engagement on water, labor, and land-use issues.

Broad incumbents

• American Farm Bureau Federation: The national umbrella organization of which Nevada Farm Bureau is an affiliated state federation; provides the policy framework, lobbying infrastructure, and member benefits (insurance, discounts) that Nevada FB extends at the state level.
• National Farmers Union: A competing national agricultural advocacy organization with state-level chapters pursuing similar lobbying, education, and cooperative development missions for farmers/ranchers — overlapping competitive landscape for member mindshare.

Others

• Cooperative Extension (Nevada) - University of Nevada, Reno: Public-sector agricultural education and outreach provider in Nevada whose Ag in the Classroom-adjacent programming competes for similar grant funding and farmer engagement attention in the state.
• Nevada Department of Agriculture: The state government agency that Nevada Farm Bureau regularly engages with on policy; complementary rather than competitive, providing regulatory and grant programs that intersect with the Farm Bureau's member benefits.
