Although the week started off a bit soggy, it wrapped up with sunny days and lots of smiling faces. The Marion County Farm Bureau was a Gold sponsor of the Marion County Fair and a proud supporter of the Junior Fair participants.

We hope everyone enjoyed letting go of some energy after the long week of fitting and showing. The Feed Sack Decorating Contest had the most participants ever. Congratulations to the six winning teams which received $25 cash prizes! We had 220 participants for the Feed Sack Decorating Contest and Barnyard Olympics, and we hope everyone remembered to redeem their milkshake tickets!

Following the fair, we secured Mark’s Homemade Ice Cream to provide refreshment to the attendees of the Marion County Carcass Show where the champion county fair animals were graded on the rail.

Marion County Farm Bureau hopes everyone has a great summer and we look forward to seeing all of your great memories from the fair on Facebook!

Farm Bureau connections
To grow a network and gain perspective and knowledge in the industry through personal and professional development has been invaluable. Every day I learn and grow.

Giving farmers a voice
The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.

10-year campaign for safer roads
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

Farm Bureau involvement
Because we are younger farmers just starting out, Farm Bureau has a lot of good opportunities and resources to help us grow in the future.

Select Partner Program
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.

Advocacy
So many of the issues that OFBF and its members are advocating for are important to all Ohioans. I look at OFBF as an agricultural watchdog advocating for farmers and rural communities across Ohio.
