Thüringer Bauernverband (TBV)

The Thüringer Bauernverband e.V. (TBV) is the voluntary association of farms and rural people in Thuringia, with 15 regional and district unions and its seat in Erfurt. It represents owners and users of farmland, people and businesses working in agriculture, and stands for equal opportunities for all business and legal forms. It is a member of the German Farmers' Association (Deutscher Bauernverband) and also provides services through its subsidiaries (e.g. TBV-Service und Marketing GmbH) and the Landvolkbildung Thüringen association.

Voluntary. You belong to the TBV by joining one of the Thuringian district farmers' unions (Kreisbauernverbände). After applying online you receive by e-mail the chosen district union's application form, statutes and fee schedule; once the district union approves, you are admitted within 14 days.

The fee schedule (Beitragsordnung) is sent by e-mail after you apply and is not published — please ask directly.
