Administrative history
The Nova Scotia Farmers' Association was founded in 1895. In 1953 the name was changed to the Nova Scotia Federation of Agriculture and was incorporated under the provisions of the Agriculture and Marketing Act. The federation is made up of individual farmers through the various district and county federations of agriculture, commodity groups, and special committees. Its objectives are to promote the exchange of information and program relating to agriculture, improve the agriculture and rural life of the province, influence the government on matters of concern to agricultural producers, and to formulate policies in consultation with members.
