Farm Bureau member Clair Schockling and Chris Wells along with Noble Soil & Water Conservation District held Ag Day May 10 and May 11 for third grade students for Noble and Guernsey County. On May 11 they held the event at EORDC in Belle Valley. The students visited several sessions throughout the day with their class and learned about a variety of topics. The main theme was corn — its many types and uses in our diets and our lives. With the overwhelming generosity of local merchants, businesses and organizations, the students were able to get great souvenirs from their activities, and they got a T-shirt with the names of the sponsor on the back. One of the sessions included a sample of tasty Ohio popcorn for each student.
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.
