Membership supports the Farm Bureau Federation’s voice in strengthening private property rights, bolstering agriculture and supporting farm and ranch families. Membership acquisition and retention remain vital to the success of the Federation. 

WyFB recognized county Farm Bureau Federations for their membership efforts at the 105th Annual Meeting held in November. The esteemed Bronze Boot and Bronze Hat awards are traveling trophies that highlight exceptional membership success. 

The Bronze Boot award is given to the first county to reach membership quota and sign at least one new regular member between the ages of 18–35. Lincoln County Farm Bureau Federation earned this honor in 2025. 

The Bronze Hat award recognizes the county with the greatest increase in Century Club members from the previous year. Albany County Ranch and Farm Bureau Federation received this traveling trophy for 2025. 

MWFBMIC VP Memberships Awarded to Counties 

Specific membership achievements are also celebrated through the Century Club memberships of MWFBMIC vice presidents, awarded to the winning county Farm Bureau Federations. 

In 1948, members of the Federation recognized the need for reliable insurance options for farmers and ranchers. They formed an affiliated insurance company—now known as MWFBMIC. WyFB appreciates MWFBMIC’s continued support in helping share the message of the Federation’s work for agriculture. 

Lincoln County won Jim Geesey’s (MWFBMIC President & CEO) Life Dividend award for being the first county to reach quota. 

Goshen County won Dan Bleak’s (MWFBMIC Vice President of Analytics & Development) Century Club membership for having the most Century Club members (43 members). 

Sheridan County won Erick Arens’ (MWFBMIC Vice President of Sales & Marketing) Century Club membership for the county whose MWFB agents signed the most new members (130). Additionally, Sheridan County was awarded Jeff Suloff’s (MWFBMIC Vice President of Claims) Century Club membership for having the most new Regular members (75). 

Hot Springs county County won Jamie Terry’s (MWFBMIC Vice President of Organizational Development) Century Club membership for retaining the greatest percentage (99%) of all members from the previous year. 

Membership strengthens the work we do for agriculture and rural Wyoming. Thank you to all the volunteers—and to our affiliate insurance company—for helping share the Federation’s message through membership acquisition and retention.
