What we do

Alaska agriculture faces unique challenges, and no one should have to face them alone. Alaska Farm Bureau brings farmers and ranchers together, advocates for their interests, connects them with resources and opportunities, and shares their stories to help Alaska agriculture grow and thrive for generations to come.

How We Help

Through policy work, educational programs, industry partnerships, and leadership opportunities, we work to make it easier for Alaskans to farm, raise livestock, and build lasting agricultural businesses.

About Us

Our multi-faceted approach ensures policies work for Alaska agriculture and the people who depend on it.

Our Latest Work

SB 208 Agricultural Land; Hemp; State Vegetable

This legislation creates new pathways for leasing and purchasing state agricultural lands while helping return farmland to active production. It also streamlines industrial hemp regulations and designates the giant cabbage as Alaska’s official state vegetable.

SB 200 Farm & Agricultural Land Property Tax Assessment

This legislation expands eligibility for the farm use land property tax reduction to include non-food agricultural operations and farms organized as S Corporations. It also supports long-term land stewardship by allowing land under a soil conservation plan to maintain the reduced assessment rate while temporarily out of production.

Alaska Farmers Market Association Market Match Dollars

$300,000 included in the budget for AFMA to continue operating the Market Match program for SNAP and WIC/Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Programs.
