Leadership Camp

Minnesota Farmers Union Leadership Camp is affordable and open to everyone, regardless of your current or past connection to farming. MFU camp is where kids can hang out, be kids and have fun singing at campfires, learn about Farmers Union, agriculture and the role they play in everyday life.

Farmers Union members are part of a crime prevention program that rewards $1,000 to individuals who provide information that leads to the arrest and conviction of persons responsible for theft, vandalism or arson of a member’s property.

Subscription to Minnesota Agriculture, the monthly magazine of MFU

Described as the “cliff notes” of events and issues that affect agriculture in Minnesota, you receive the very latest in the farming news that impacts you and your community directly. If you use email, you will also receive a weekly e-newsletter with our event listings and links to register, as well as information about available grants and policy updates.

Agritourism inherent risk warning signs

In accordance with Minnesota’s agritourism liability law, a provider of agritourism activities is not liable for injury, damage or death of a participant resulting from inherent risks of the activity if warning signs are posted at the site of the activity. MFU members are eligible for one free warning sign as well as additional signs which can be purchased for $7. Contact us to get your signs. We also frequently have them available at our events and trade shows.
