The Pickaway County Farm Bureau and Pickaway County Soil and Water teamed up again this year for the annual Ag Day event at the fairgrounds on Sept. 30. Approximately 850 4th graders attended the event and were instructed on various agricultural topics by more than 150 FFA students. Livestock, soils, farm equipment, crops, and agricultural careers were all part of the day’s activities. Katerina Sharp, Pickaway County Farm Bureau board member, as well as the program specialist for the Pickaway Soil and Water Conservation District, chaired the event.
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.
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
We really appreciate what Farm Bureau has done to get people interested in this line of work and workforce development and getting people interested in this industry.
We work terrifically with the Ashtabula County Farm Bureau, hosting at least one to two outreach town hall events every year to educate new farmers and existing farmers on traditional CAUV and woodlands.
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.
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.
