Professional Search: Paralegal — American Farm Bureau Federation

Location: Washington, D.C.
Reports to: Governance Administrator
Salary Range: $95,000 – 105,000

ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION

The American Farm Bureau Federation is the national advocate for farmers, ranchers and rural communities. Just as the work of feeding our nation begins on the farm, we believe that’s where the policy that shapes agriculture should begin as well. Every year, Farm Bureau members in more than 2,800 counties meet to discuss and vote on policies affecting their farms, ranches and communities. Those policies then set the agenda for their state Farm Bureaus and ultimately AFBF.

Our grassroots approach is what makes the American Farm Bureau, the Voice of Agriculture. This includes engaging consumers to build trust in, and share the story of, agriculture. AFBF also develops programs and tools that help farmers and ranchers succeed in business and leadership. Learn more about AFBF.
