What is FARMER?
FARMER is the only political action committee (PAC) led by farmers in Pennsylvania, and all contributions go to support members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly who are strong supporters of agriculture. Operated by the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau since 1981 FARMER solicits monies from interested parties to elect “friends of agriculture” to the state General Assembly.
FARMER reviews candidates’ voting records on agricultural issues, as well as their personal philosophy. It seeks the opinion of county Farm Bureaus and individual FARMER members and contributes to candidates on a bipartisan basis.
Pennsylvania campaign law does not allow FARMER to accept corporate contributions. All members receive FARMER information and have the opportunity to input the candidate selection process.
