Please join Richland County Farm Bureau for our Annual Meeting on Monday, Sept 12. If you have never been to the annual meeting, we encourage you to join us this year and learn more about what our organization is doing in the county and your community. 

This year’s annual meeting will be held at Der Dutchman in Bellville. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. with a candidates reception, and dinner will be served at 6 p.m. Adam Sharp, Ohio Farm Bureau’s executive vice president, is the keynote speaker.

Tickets are just $15. Call 419.747.7488 by Aug. 29, or click here to make reservations and pay at the door.

Members will vote on guiding policies, code changes and elect trustees and delegates to the Ohio Farm Bureau Annual Meeting for 2023. IMPACT your community by guiding local activities and state events! 

The policies of Farm Bureau are the backbone of the organization. They provide the framework through which we advocate for family, community and food security. They help guide efforts to address real community issues—issues such as regulations, funding public education and services, environmental protection, animal care, health care, landowner’s rights and community planning. These policies and trustees help guide the yearly plan of work for Richland County Farm Bureau volunteers.

Are you ready to be more involved? Farm Bureau is a grassroots membership organization that works to support our state’s food and farm community. The county (local) Farm Bureau is the very heart and strength of the organization. Richland County Farm Bureau is seeking candidates for trustees to be elected at the Annual Meeting. 

If you are interested in making a difference in your community, planning activities, and organizing sessions to help local farmers, please let us know. Nominations can be made from the floor at the meeting.

If you can’t commit the time to be a trustee, we still have a spot for those willing to help! Volunteers are needed at different times throughout the year. You can volunteer for one particular event, participate in many areas or serve on committees. If you are interested in making a difference in your community, please let us know. 

Remember, all Farm Bureau members and their families are invited to join us for this special event. Join your friends and neighbors for an evening of food, fun, and entertainment as we celebrate our organization’s successes. 

We hope to see you there!
