New Membership Option -
Farm Bureau Bank Dear Farm Bureau Member: Farm Bureau was founded in the early 1900s by a group of farmers wanting to build more profitable farming opera-
tions and good, safe communities in which to live. While issues and challenges may have changed over the years, the mission and goals of Farm Bureau have remained true to the spirit of our founders. We work hard each year to surface pro-
grams that will help you have a better life and make a better living.
This past spring, the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation Board of Directors voted to offer Farm Bureau Bank as a new
membership option. Farm Bureau Bank, which began operating in 1999, currently supports the financial needs of more
than 100,000 banking members across 42 states.
Farm Bureau has always listened to its members. Back in those early years, leaders responded to the need in rural com-
munities for quality, affordable insurance services. Similarly, a strong policy development and implementation program
was established to work with issues affecting members’ lives and livelihoods. Recently, through the policy development and implementation program here in Mississippi – and also in response to a need expressed by members – our state achieved eminent domain reform.
I use these successful programs as examples to show you that when we offer a new membership option like Farm Bu-
reau Bank you can be assured of its strength and financial stability. Just like any other program, Farm Bureau Bank will be there wherever you are and whenever you need it – now and for generations to come.
Farm Bureau Bank offers a wide range of banking services, and members can access their accounts by phone, fax, mail,
and through a 24/7 Internet Banking Service. For more information, visit the Farm Bureau Bank Web site at www.farmbureaubank.com or call 1-800-492-3276. You may also contact your county Farm Bureau office.
I encourage you to take advantage of this great new membership option, and I thank you for your continued support
of Farm Bureau.
