As a member of Michigan Farmers Union, you gain access to a nationwide network of family farmers and ranchers fighting for fairness with you. Members have the ability to engage in exclusive education opportunities, advocacy, and legislative initiatives. The benefits are extensive, with discounts on business development software, workwear, farm equipment, and travel booking. Whether you are a farmer or consumer, urban or rural, this organization fights for farm policies that ensure we have a safe and abundant food supply and carries the voice of farming communities to the state and federal legislatures.
