The Farm Bureau board has recently evaluated the office structure and found that we are generally contacted by email or telephone and rarely receive visitors in the county office. Maintaining a local office to accommodate deliveries and storage is not cost-effective.
Continuing to look at ways to maximize our dollars and still provide great programming and service to our members, the county Farm Bureau board has approved a merger of four county Farm Bureaus to the office in New Philadelphia.
Starting on September 1st, the new office address will be:
2146 East High Avenue, New Philadelphia, Ohio 44663.
Phone number is 330.339.7211 or toll free, 888.265.2090 and the emails will remain [email protected] and [email protected]. Office hours will be Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 8am-4pm with plans to move to a four-day workweek.
Carol Hoffman with 30 years of excellent member service will be your office administrator until an additional staff person is hired. The office staff will continue to provide the excellent level of service you have grown to expect.
Labor has always been an issue, mainly because we are a seasonal operation. So that's a challenge finding somebody who only wants to work three months out of a year, sometimes up to six months.
I appreciate the benefit of having a strong voice in my corner. The extras that are included in membership are wonderful, but I'm a member because of the positive impact to my local and state agricultural communities.
I see the value and need to be engaged in the community I live in, to be a part of the decision-making process and to volunteer with organizations that help make our community better.
Farm Bureau involvement has taught me how to grow my professional and leadership experience outside of the workforce and how to do that in a community-centric way.
With not growing up on a farm, I’d say I was a late bloomer to agriculture. I feel so fortunate that I found the agriculture industry. There are so many opportunities for growth.
Knowing that horticulture is under the agriculture umbrella and having Farm Bureau supporting horticulture like it does the rest of ag is very important.
If it wasn't for Farm Bureau, I personally, along with many others, would not have had the opportunity to meet with our representatives face to face in Washington.
