Promotion & Education Committee

Our Mission: The Delaware Farm Bureau Promotion and Education committee partners with Delaware farm families to create relationships with our neighbors, the consumer, to promote Delaware’s number one industry and educate the public and farmer alike.

The Delaware Farm Bureau Promotion and Education Committee is continuously educating the public on the importance of farmers and farming. Delaware farmers are dedicated to supporting and feeding their communities through their hard work and unwavering efforts. The Promotion and Education Committee is focused on supporting our local farmers and educating our community on the vital role farmers play in our economy.

Our Programs

The Annual Photo Contest encourages amateur photographers to submit photos highlighting Delaware’s agriculture. The top four photos receive a monetary award, along with a framed certificate, and their photos are on display in the Delaware Farm Bureau state office.

Our Annual Safety Conference is a one-day event, that began in 2017, that promotes safety on the farm and offers farmers a handful of beneficial resources. To learn more about this event and to see a recap from this year’s Annual Safety Conference, click here

The Rural Road Initiative program launched in 2015. This program is designed to help teach drivers, and the community, about the importance of driving safely when farm equipment is on the road. 

Through this program, we educate drivers on Slow-Moving Vehicles (SMV), and what to do when you are sharing the road with them. To learn more about our Rural Road Safety Initiative, click here. 

Our Rural Road Safety brochures can be found at the Delaware Farm Bureau State office in Camden, DE, at any DMV location, and at the Smyrna Rest Stop.
