Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To promote and protect the agriculture in Polk County. We are a Grassroots membership organization that works with local decision makers.

  • Polk County Farm Bureau held its 34th annual multi-day Agri-Fest event for 4th graders. Students and their teachers explore interactive exhibits and attend hands on workshops each day on citrus, beef cattle, horticulture, forestry, blueberries, phosphate and soil and water conservation. This is an opportunity to educate the youth on the importance of agriculture in our county and promote the betterment of agriculutre.

  • Polk County Farm Bureau members and industry leaders saw a need for a four year agricultural degree in our county. We encouraged and facilitated the development of Warner Universitys Agricultural Studies Program. The project-based courses provide students with marketable experience through internships, field trips, mentorships, capstone projects, and guest lectures led by industry leaders. Innovative courses in specialty crops, animal science, soils, plant science, conservation, sustainability, global agriculture, and agribusiness will help prepare students to enter the agricultural industry as knowledgeable and trained professionals.

  • Polk County YF&R members participated in the Downtown Bartown Farmers Market where their exhibit booth invited event attendees to spin the quiz wheel to answer a question regarding agriculture production and its value to the community. Participation in this event was part of Polk County Farm Bureaus Food Check-Out week activities. The booth set-up consisted of a spin-thewheel true or false game. Consumers spun the wheel and answer a true or false agriculture fact. This simple game opened the door to having conversations with consumers about the common misconceptions geared toward the agricultural industry.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

No itemized grant names this organization as a recipient. Only grants over $5,000 are itemized, and only by filers of the full Form 990.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Not present in the most recent drop.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
