The Illinois Farm Bureau (IFB) is a nonprofit U.S. organization controlled by farmers who join the IFB through one of the 96 county Farm Bureaus in Illinois. The organization's legal name is the Illinois Agricultural Association. The IFB was founded in 1916 by a group of farmers who met at the University of Illinois to discuss the need for agricultural education, better information for farmers, and more effective farming practices. Modernly, the IFB represents two out of three Illinois farmers. In 1922, at the IFB annual meeting, "a system of statewide cooperatives, insurance companies, and other agricultural-related businesses were established to ensure adequate and reasonably priced supplies and service under control of farmers." Affiliated organizations under the cooperative umbrella known as the family of companies, along with Illinois Farm Bureau, are: AgriVisor Services Inc, COUNTRY Financial, GROWMARK, IAA Credit Union, IAA Foundation, Illinois Farm Families, Illinois Milk Producers Association, Illinois Specialty Growers Association, Illinois Wheat Association and Prairie Farms Dairy.
