Read MoreThe Pickaway County Farm Bureau, along with Pickaway Soil and Water Conservation District, recently held its annual meeting at Flora and Field, near Mt. Sterling. Brad Wolford of Stoutsville was sworn in as the new county Farm Bureau president. Brad is a fourth-generation county Farm Bureau president in Pickaway County.
Those in attendance conducted business that included approval of several policy suggestions as well as amendments to the county Farm Bureau code. Code changes were made as a result of changes to the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation Code which took place at the state annual meeting last December.
The county code changes include changes in the classification of members. Currently, Farm Bureau has three classes of members (Active, Community, and Young Active). As of December 1, 2022, there will be one membership class, meaning that all members of the organization will have voting rights. However, only members who have a direct affiliation with agriculture may serve as a member of the board or as a delegate to the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation (OFBF) annual meeting. The next change that was passed deals with the annual dues amount. Currently, members of the Pickaway County Farm Bureau pay $79 per year, but starting December 1, 2022, the dues rate will increase to $95, and on December 1, 2025, the dues amount will be $120.
