Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To increase net income of farmers and ranchers and to improve the quality of rural life and work for the betterment of agriculture.

  • Marion County Farm Bureau has organized and sponsored the Ag Ventures program during the Southeastern Youth Fair for 14 years. More than 1,100 second grade students participated during the 3 days and well over one thousand people visit the Ag Ventures tent on self-guided tours throughtout the week. The Ag Venture tent displays information about the importance of agriculture. Students are presented with 12 educational stations that provided interactive learning on various commodities including blueberries, goats, rabbits, citrus, forestry, poultry, beef, equine, honey bees, row crops, and peanuts.

  • Marion County Farm Bureau is part of a Farm City Week Coalition that plans and hosts several activities for the general public during Farm City Week. Activities include a photo contest, open house and farm tours, and a Marion County Ag Hall of Fame banquet. Farm City Week is celebrated annually to remind everyone of the interdependency of food producers, and consumers, as well as those who process, package, transport and retail food.

  • Marion County Farm Bureau read to approximately 2,000 students during Agriculture Literacy Day. We partner with UF/IFAS, UF CALS Graduate students, FFA students and advisors, elected officials and other volunteers to read an age appropriate book focused on the importance of farming and agriculture in Florida and our community.

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.

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.
