	American Farm Bureau: The Enemy Within
		As local farm bureaus began to federate on a state basis they eventually gave birth to the AFBF in 1920, while the relationship became largely illusory for the real power was being transferred from the colleges to corporate agribusiness through Washington.
		As recently as 1985 the Texas Farm Bureau voiced its opposition to a federal minimum wage for farm workers, in addition to reaffirming its long-standing opposition to child labor legislation, workers' compensation and unemployment compensation, and the abolition of the back-breaking short-handled hoe.
		It is important in any discussion of the Farm Bureau to make a distinction between its leadership and its farmer members for in many cases the latter have been equally victimized by their state and national officers and policies.

	Statement of American Farm Bureau Federation, June 10, 2003
		The American Farm Bureau Federation’s farmer and rancher members produce virtually every agricultural commodity grown or raised commercially in the United States.
		While American farmers and ranchers have the highest production rates in the world, multiple layers of restrictive regulations at the local, state and national levels have impaired their ability to farm and ranch efficiently in an increasingly competitive global market.
		The majority and minority opinions both held that mere hydrological connection is not enough to claim federal jurisdiction and emphasized that there must be a clear and compelling connection between traditional navigability and the wetlands or waters to be regulated by federal agencies.

		The Farm Bureau may be something of a masked warrior in the political arena in which conservationists fight their battles.
