National Farmers Union (United States)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Farmers Union (officially Farmers' Educational and Cooperative Union of America) is a national federation of State Farmers Union organizations. It is the second largest general farm organization in the United States, after Farm Bureau. The organization was founded in Point, Texas in 1902 and is now headquartered in Denver, Colorado. Today, the organization continues its original mission: to protect and enhance the economic well-being and quality of life for family farmers and ranchers and their rural communities. It does this by promoting legislation and education beneficial to farmers, and by developing cooperative buying and selling methods and businesses. The current president is Tom Buis, and the vice president is Alan Bergman.
