Welcome | Fulton County Farm Bureau

Welcome to the Fulton County Farm Bureau website. Here we will deliver important information to our members about the agriculture issues that face Fulton farmers and their families. Please let us know what you think of it. We also would be interested in obtaining e-mail addresses from our members, so that in the future we can deliver news in that way!

On the right side of the page should be news items from the Illinois Farm Bureau updated daily. And I KNOW we need a new Board Picture! As soon as I can get the entire group in the Board Room at the same time, that will be taken care of. :)
