North Dakota Farmers Union is a North Dakota-based non-profit organization and the state's largest general farm association. It represents more than 70,000 member families and pursues cooperative, legislative, and educational goals to support family farm and ranch agriculture and improve rural quality of life through member advocacy, educational programs, cooperative initiatives, and insurance services. Founded in 1927 and rooted in grassroots participation, the organization is headquartered in Jamestown, North Dakota, and operates within the non-profit sector. Its members include farmers, ranchers, and rural communities seeking advocacy, education, and practical support to strengthen family farms. Within the broader non-profit landscape, it positions itself as a grassroots platform for advancing family agriculture and related quality-of-life concerns through advocacy, education, cooperative work, and insurance services. In December 2025, Matt Perdue was elected to lead the organization as its president, reflecting ongoing leadership transitions and governance focused on member needs.
