COVID 19 Office Update
The Champaign County Farm Bureau office is closed to the public. Staff will be available daily from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. by phone and email. If you would like to meet with a staff member in-person we will practice social distancing and ask that you have completed a self-assessment of your health before coming to the building. If the weather is cooperative, we will most likely meet outside. If you need to pay membership dues, you can visit www.myifb.org to either join the CCFB as a new member or to renew your dues.
