Members paid dues to the County Farm Bureau. These dues were divided between the county and state associations. The Moorhead-Kurtz Township Farm Bureau unit met in homes of members by invitation. Programs at the unit meetings were often put on by local attorneys, Farm Bureau lenders, and professors from the local colleges.
